Default RE: Deer rifles

That's cool. I've just seen some pretty outlandish claims on these forums and wanted to see a clarification for how someone could routinely shoot a golf ball at 300 yards. It is way beyond my abilities.

I do think that hitting a softball at 300 yards from some field positions (prone, kneeling with a rest, etc.) with a good rifle is something that could be accomplished. I do think if you had a really good rifle and were an excellent shot and wind conditions were reasonable a baseball would be in trouble too. I would think that hitting a golf ball 1 out of 3 shots at that range would be pretty impressive. Locating it after you hit it might be a chore though!
