The longest shots I take are on the range at 250 yard gong. There is quite possibly places on the open plans or in the mountains where you might want maximum range. As long as I can hit the 6 inch gong at 250 yds the possibility of more range has no lure for me. With the exception of one place the average shot around here is 25 yds in the woods and in the fields if you can not get with in 250 yds then find an old hunter to teach you some things. Lee
