Longest shot ever?
What's your longest shot ever successfully made on a game animal?
Recently had the thought of in all honesty how many hunters will ever even take/shoot at an animal at 400yds or more? very few I'm thinking. Also after a lifetime of hunting, I would guess most hunters shots would be under 200 yards, while maybe one or two were 400yards or so. I'm sure it's possible with practice and the right setup to shoot 800-1000yards, but really I'm thinking the fantasy of needing a .30-378wby to take an elk at 800 yards is pretty much a fairytale for most of us. |
125yds, not really far with a borrowed 300WSM

My longest shot to date was ranged at 397-yards. I hunt in some pretty open country and still a shot over 250-yards is not that common. I try to sneak as close as I can, when I can.

607 yards is the closest spot to the deer that the range finder would grab. but i think it was more like 612-615..

285 yds. antelope 300 rum |
Around 260 yards on a doe in 2007. I've got one year of college left and after that I intend to stretch my range. I've been reading everything I can on LR shooting, and just need the income to satisfy my appetite. Hopefully I can get things rolling after I graduate!

326 yards on a cow elk last Friday. Before that, 250 yards on an antelope three years ago.
