The meaning of slob hunter to me would be any man or woman who would go beyond their limitations for a shot at an animal without any concious for the animals well being. I don't knock people who can kill game proficiently up to 500yds. Those people practice enough to do it all the time. And these people know under what circumstances to take these shots wind, angle, and weather. 700 to 1000 yds is really losing alot of bullet energy it has to be shot perfect. Theirs only a handful of those men in the whole world. Everyone else has just gotten lucky. A 1000yd shot hmmmmm lets see. A 270 with a fast 130gr bullet drops about 277 inches, thats roughly 23ft of hold over. Now tell me what hunter has those kind of optics on their rifle that can show a hold over of 23ft. Even a fast 300 win mag load is going to drop 21ft at 1000yds with about 500lbs of energy. Now were in the energy level of pistol shooting. And most of us that have ever hunted with a pistol know you have to put it where it belongs.

Yeah maybe not calling them slobs is more along the line of being polictically correct but I'd call them foolish for lack of knowledge and disreguard of animal life.

I shot a whitetail at 535 yds once and I missed in my reasoning. I held for the lung shot and the bullet struck just infront of the shoulder and broke his neck. Even though the bullet hit just infront of the shoulder it was what I call a miss. I was lucky not to have wounded the animal. And I practice out to 575yds all year long. At that distance in most hunting circumstances its going to real tough to make a perfect shot. And for the average hunter they should stay under the 300yd mark.
