Limiting yourself to a maximum distance of 100 yards is just plain retarted.
If we're going to discus something, don't be so simple minded, limiting my maximum distance to 100 yards is not retarded. Plus retarded is spelled with a D not a T. Its what I am comfortable with. You may be comfortable at 300 yards, am I saying that your retarded for shooting so damn far?? Nope.

You shoot the most "accurate" gun ever, the 7mm, and your obviously a "professional" shooter since you are military.
I am not going to baby-sit you son, I never said it was the most accurate gun ever. And I wouldn't call myself a professional shooter, better than average though. lol



I'd put money I could shoot a tighter 3 shot group at 300 yards than you could at 100 yards.
sure, I'll put my e-money on it too. Look at the logic of this situation. I very seriously doubt you could.



I have missed a few deer, not many.
I bet they were the ones out past 300 yards, you should be practicing your .0000098 inch groups at 1000 yards then.

We could compare number of kills, and we'll see when you reach as high as me, if your hit/miss ratio is still the same.
lets not get into a pissing contest here. Don't put too much meaning into online stats.

I want to hunt with you, when that monster 30pt buck steps out at 105 yards, he would be all mine!
Well, you must be brain dead, I guess I need to clarify myself, AROUND 100 yards is what I am comfortable with. Plus, I wouldn't let you hunt with me, obviously you have no respect for others.

Yep, I'm dropping this subject. G'luck with your season.

You might want to ask my buddies if I have no respect for big game or them. So far this season I have put 3 of my buddies on deer, all scored over 130"

I understand we all have our limitations when it comes to shooting. I sight my rifle in by shooting at 100 yards. Then I set out 20 ounce/ 1 Liter/ 2 Liter/ gallon jugs full of water out to 450 yards and bang away. Its not only a great way to sharpen your skills, its a fun competition with friends.

Again g'luck with your season, sorry to have stepped on your toes.

All I was doing was stating my opinion until you and the other guy wanted to tell me that just because I kept my distances short, that I was retarded. I've never heard such ignorance. You two are being very hypocritical, if you say that about my 100 yards, then its no different than you and your 300 yards. I don't like the idea of ppl shooting over 100 yards, but if you can do it then good but don't talk down on me because I choose not to shoot that far.

So you would have no trouble beating these 100 yard groups with your 7mm that is so accurate.

even if I had a digital camera, I wouldn't waste my time. Grow up. Do you know how ridiculas you two are? when i go deer hunting I am not concerned with "oh man I hope I see one 500 yards out so I can shoot at it" I am concerned with killing a deer. what don't you two go to a target shooting forum. I deer hunt, I'll kill deer regardless of the distance being that its under 100 yards. this is my comfort zone and I will not jeopardize the deer's health or my hunt or other hunters around me because I want to play sniper. if I can't see what the deer is without a scope or binoculars then its out of range for me. Bottom line.
