What is the longest shot you would take?

RE: What is the longest shot you would take?
i said 300-400 yards because i practice at longer distances and have taken game at these distances. i am sure i could "stretch" further shots but i wouldn't feel comfortable due to the margin oferror being so little. my thought is, why wound a deer with a poor shot if you don't have to.

i must have missed that thread. i say shoot at the distance your comfortable with. just practice at that distance so you're not "spray'n and pray'n". i'm not going to comment on others responses because i don't know what their shooting ability is, some people shoot better than others. i am also not going to condone someone shooting beyond their ability.

I was about to say how happy I am too see that most people keep it under 200yrds (like me), but then I realized there are only 5 responses, not exactly a scientific poll.

I prefer to be as close as possible,but I do practise regularly out to 500 yards and under ideal circumstamces,I will shoot that far.My longest kill to date was measured at 480yards with my laser rangefinder ,and I have made several other kills at over 400 yards.
