Default RE: how far is to far.?

The truth of the matter IMO is that anything over 300 yards is pretty iffy. I maen a real measured 300 yards. I shot Steel Silhouettes ot to five hundred meters and there are more things to go wrong at that range than things to go right. Even when sighting in our Silhouette rifle off the bench, it is pretty easy to miss completely. A lot of Macho guys like to think that 400-500 yard shots are routine. Wrong. I will shoot at targets at those ranges but not game animals.
