My quesstion is related to the 60 yd grouping post.
Who thinks they can ethical take an animal @ 60 yds?
It would either have to be a very big animal or a very small animal.
Or with a rifle....
As it is, I can't see 40 yards in the thick swamps I hunt. If I was going out west or to some place where shots average 30+ yards (like in some types of elk/mulie/antelope hunting, you bet I'd be practicing those super long shots... Heck I practice them now. But there is no point in even thinking about taking a shot that long, not where I hunt.
I'm comfortable under correct conditions to about 40-45 yards.
Longest shot ever on game was 32.
Average is about 13... and that I'm proud of.
