RE: Maximum shooting distance
If you plan on taking a shot that far make sure you have a range finder. Its harder to judge longer distances atleast for me anyways. I've never taken a shot past 20 yards. I stalked a bruiser last year to 35 yards, but didn't feel comfortable taking the shot. I know a lot of people could have and would have droped him at that range and I might have been able to, but the key word is might. Shoot at whatever range you feel comfortable at.
