330 yards?

with practice I'm quite certain 500, 600 yds would be possible.


There's few hunting shows I can bare to watch anymore, one recently I saw a kid shoot a Ibex at 800 plus yards? The kid missed one earlier in the hunt.
I'm cool with a kid shooting 800yds if they can, but the dad carried the rifle the entire time, which was a monster of a rifle, then the dad ranged the animal, adjusted the scope, etc... told the kid to pull the trigger. Seemed like the dad wanted an ibex much more than the kid. I really think sheep moose, goat once in a lifetime type tags should only be for adults... kids can cut their teeth on deer, antelope, elk hunts...until they're an adult.
