RE: 890 yard kill from a benchrest?
Tell me what make a person who only shoots a box of shells a year,taking a 200 yard shot at a running deer more ethical then a person with the equipment to shoot 900 yards and has practiced with hundreds of rounds and knows they can hit the deer. Long range shooting adds a new spin to hunting just as bow hunting.
Bow hunting adds a new thrill that requires a higher level of skill for the hunter. Many in experianced bow hunters have lost and maimed deer because they didn't have the skill to take the shot.
Long range shooting adds a new thrill and requires a higher level of skill for the hunter. And just as with bow hunting the shot should only be taken buy those who have a skill level to handed the circumstances.
