Default RE: whats the longest shot you have ever taken?

I have taken a couple in the high 200' s. I shot a deer at 260, and a black bear at 276. I routinely practice at 500 yds. and under. I shot 550 yds a couple days ago and nailed the target twice. I shot it once with a 7mm rem. mag using 150 grain Remington Scirroco' s, and the second time with a 338-378. Weatherby Mag. You talk about a flat shooting gun. I started shooting bows six weeks ago, because I did not draw my rifle tag. I purchased a Bow-Tech Blackhawk and practiced 5 times a week. Yesterday was my first bow hunt, and I killed a 5 by 5 bull at 52 yds. I had to quarter him up yesterday afternoon, and we got him all packed out last night.
