Even though the bullet is capable of doing its job.
I do it for Fun, and the Challenge (These Long Range Shoots with OPEN/PEEP Sights are EXTREMELY Challenging) But I would NEVER EVER attempt a Shot like in my Videos above on ANY Big Game Animal, it’s an unethical & Irresponsible thing to do. These Big Bullets have PLENTY OF POWER & THEN SOME to be LETHAL on ANY Big Game at those Ranges, That’s not the Problem. The Problem is their ETA (Estimated time of Arrival) to the Target. These Big Lead Bullets are in the Air for Several Seconds, Plenty of Time for an Animal to COMPLETELY Step away before the Bullet Gets there. Even though I practice, and Shoot these Long Range Shoots on a REGULAR Basis I am DEAD AGAINST Shooting at ANY Big Game Animal at these EXTREME Distances. Through LOTS of Work, Determination & Dedication i have become very efficient at Hitting Targets at EXTREME Ranges, But it’s a Target ONLY Thing for me. Anyone that would take Shots at Big Game Animals at these Distances is NOT an Ethical Hunter, And should have their Hunting License Revoked For LIFE if Caught doing it, I would drive to my State Capitol to Sign a Petition against it, in hopes of Outlawing it. That’s my opinion anyway.
