Remember - Take the shot you know you can make, NOT the one you think you can make !!!
BTW - I "think" most of us on here know the difference between shooting paper and game animals ??
I think the statement in bold says it all. For me to take a 500 yd shot would be unethical because my equipment and experience on LR shooting is limited. My belief from reading these forums for all these years is that there are some fortunate hunters who have the eyesight, equipment and discipline to shoot better than I do. It would be wrong for me to call them anything other than experts. I am sure there are plenty of military snipers who wouldn't blink an eye on a 1000 yd target. Is it so unbelievable that a non military hunter could achieve that level of expertise?
