Again, not everyone has that ability RR. What you and I would call a pi$$ poor shot at 700 are what many folks DREAM of hitting at long range. Lung shot death dashes create a really nice blood trail. Gut shots don't. I personally wont take a shot past 400 just simply for the reason that no matter how well you can read a critter, critters move at the LEAST opportune times. Like right when you break the trigger. In my youth (yeah I know they hadn't even invented gunpowder yet) I took those shots every now and again but hiking 6 miles up and down 2 mountains trying to get up on a leg shot bull elk cured me of that crap quick and easy. I didn't calculate down angle correctly on a 725 yard shot. Like a previous poster stated, you would be friggin surprised how far a 3 legged Elk can go! Had I been less "lazy" I could have easily gotten within 150 yards.
