Thanks Lewis. And wow 55'. If shooting at an animal that trajectory arc would really make getting the range right extremely critical. Sounds like even if you're off 10 yards you'd have a complete miss!? But I imagine just talking to you that you would never even attempt such a shot. 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, That’s not the Problem. The Problem is ETA (Estimated time of Arrival) to the Target. These Big Lead Bullets are in the Air Several Seconds, Plenty of Time for an Animal to COMPLETELY Step away before the Bullet Got 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 it, But it’s a Target ONLY Thing. Anyone that would Hunt, Shoot at Big Game at these Distances is NOT an Ethical Hunter, And should have their Hunting License Revoked For Life if Caught attempting it, I would drive to my State Capitol to Sign a Petition against it. That’s my opinion anyway.
I much prefer getting close to my quarry which is why I enjoy archery and muzzleloader hunting so much (sidelocks). Something about hunting on a cold frosty morning and having a target animal so close you can see the steam and snot coming out of its nose!!
