The biggest thing with shoot long range with the PRB is to know the exact distance. Being off by only a few yards will cause a miss. At the 500 yard target I was shooting at in VT, you could recover the balls at the base of the target. You could see by the bullet splashes on the steel buffalo that the ball was coming down at a pretty steep angle. Definitely not something to try on a live game animal. That would be very irresponsible and UN-sportsman like.
