I' m lucky to have my own 200yd range about 50ft from the room I' m sitting here typing in that I can use whenever I feel like it.I' d worry about not shooting further but in 39 years of buck shooting only 2 have been over 100yds and they were both at about 125.Unless I hunted powerlines and huge fresh clear-cuts or maybe huge open flowages or fields, I just couldn' t find a place to make a really long shot.My days of shooting groundhogs at 300-400yds in Pa.are long gone and up north here a long shot is 100-150yds.Course the mature bucks aren' t out in the open in powerlines or cuts that much in daylight anyway unless they' re spooked and running.Down in the old cedar bogs and thick bedding areas are where I find em' and it don' t take a ballistic chart taped to the rifle
............just one shot in the right place.I guess you could say I practice year round at the ranges I hunt
