Nice post Sooner. Where I hunt most shots are under 150 yards. I hunt with a 270 Weatherby mag with handloads. One reason because I like it the other because we do have one oat patch and a few senderos cut that could require a 300 - 450 yard shot(not many but a few). I shoot a lot and have confidence that with my setup I could take a long shot and make it. I agree with the above post that a number of people that have never hunted where you could get a long shot like to make negative comments about those that hunt that way. In the cedar thicket pasture that I hunt if that buck crosses a sendero at 300 yards and you don't take the shot then you can figure that most likely you will never see him again. I just wish more people that take these shots would practice enough to be capable at that range.
