Saw a guy on a hunting show drop an antelope at 1011 yards. What type of gun would drop that?

RR-

That Allen Magnum is a pretty sweet rig. Does it kick a lot??

hunterspaces-

What show did you see it on? Best of the West??

Just saw the clip. It was www.thompsonlongrange.com that did it, but they never said what kind of rifle they were using.

I would use my Ruger Blackhawk in 45 LC. Good out to 1600 yards or so. Only a 1000 on Elk.

I have a several, here's my latest..................

338 Lapua




Custom SMLE in 303 doubleAAed modified improved britishwith custom 50 MOA base andIdeal SS rings and 4x scope

Some guys filmed thier doe hunt at the ranch I work at this past fall. One of the does was shot at 800 yards in the head with a 300 RUM. Coolest thing about the video is that you can see vapor trails on most of the shots.

The thing thatbothers me about all these filmed hunting shows with their long shots is that they never show the ones that are horribly crippled to crawl off to die.

Though I am very impressed by long range shots on game, it is just shooting and can't be considered "hunting".

falcon. I am glad that some see the real picture. You hit it on the head.

Everyone has different opinion of "long range"! I would shoot at prarie dogs at 400 and beyond and not worry about hit or miss but for deer or any meat game I want to take home I would personally rather keep the distance to 300-!Most of the long shot gunners get alot of practice I hope,then there are nimrods that think if it's on TV then anyone can do it!
