For those who like the challenge of long range shooting (Of which I am One and have done a lot of it) there are targets. Its every bit as satisfying to me to see a steel target topple or a 1000 yard gong ring as it is to kill something. And you can't wound a target.
I agree wholeheartedly.With only one exception. I have no problem with long range shooting of varmints. I once shot a coyote at 875 yards (my personal best). I wouldn't be opposed to shooting at coyotes at or beyond 1000. I've even been know to take pot shots at Prairie dogs at well over 500 yards. As you would expect I haven't hit one yet.
