Unbelievable?
If you can't get closer to game than 500yards?
Change your stalking tactics?
Just my opinion?
Now if your target shooting ONLY, then that is a different story,HOWEVER some think that just because their target rifle with group at 500,600,700, ... They can take game in adverse conditions the same way? NOT!
Get real it ain't going to happen, PERIOD!!!
Your just going to miss or worst yet, wound game animals.
Please reconsider your options?!?
I love it, there's always one know-it-all in one of these long range threads. Someone like Mike here who doesn't know squat about long range shooting, probably has a hard enough time hitting the broad side of a deer at 100 yards so thinks everyone else must play by his rules.
Well guess what...my "comfort zone" is 800 YARDS. Mule deer at 438 yards...ranged him, dropped him. One shot. 15 degree upward angle, 10mph crosswind. Elk at 683 yards. Ranged him, pumped several consecutive rounds into him, all lethal hits individually, and drop him within 10 yards of where he was standing for the first shot.
Yeah. You know your stuff, don't you guy. "It ain't going to happen, PERIOD!!!". "Your just going to miss or worst yet, wound game animals.". The quality of your spelling and grammar fit your opinion too.
