RE: Long Range Practice
I usually shoot one group at 20 yards to start. Helps instill confidence. I then shoot all my groups, except the last one, from 30 and 40 yards. I then shoot my last group from 20 yards. Hopefully I can end the session on a good note.
I have never shot a deer further than 25 yards. I hunt in southern pines and hardwoods. It is thick and not many long shots. This practice sessions suits my hunting situation. If I were hunting out west or along large fields I would lengthen the practice distance out to 50 yards. Just my take on the situation.
good hunting
