I don't care for advocating shots of that distance. Some people may be able to shoot consistently on a range at those distances (not many however) but under field conditions there are just too many variables. Variable wind speeds and direction, mirage, up and down hill angled shots, to name just a few. Hell out past 1000 yards even things like variations in altitude, temperature, and humidity can affect the degree of bullet drop. Not to mention the increased likelyhood of not being able to find an animal that was hit and ran at that distance. Hell, I've shot animals at 200 yards and had troublepicking upthe blood trail. Just imagine the potential difficuties of striking the trail of an animal that was standing 1100 yards away and ran 100 yards after the shot. Besides every game animal in this country are hunted and routinely killed by bowhunters at ranges less than 50 yards. If a bowman can get that close then I can't see any reason why a rifleman can't at least get within 500 yards. It's a sad @$$ commentary on his hunting skills if he can't.
