Well you see people all the time who imitate others just because they've seen it on TV, in a movie or video. Are you the one who's going to keep such people with poor judgement out of the woods or fields. It does matter if "they shouldn't"... the fact is a certain number of people who have no business, experience, or sense enough to effectively make extraordinarily long shots on animals WILL do it, just to try to show their buddies that they can "shoot beyond belief."
My point is simple. If someone has the equipment, knowledge, experience and is successful in some long range shooting of big game. Don't video it and spread it on the Internet and on cable programs with the direct or implied message. "Yeah, I did this... so can you!" It's disrespecting hunting as a sport and the animals we hunt. I don't like that at all.[:'(]

Is it just me or do they appear to be shooting over a road on the first deer?:eek:

Suchlong range shootingis somethingvery small %of the shooting population could do on a regular basis. Hitting a pie plate don't cut the mustard at any distance for me. My rule of thumb is1/2 that size shows mewhat I could even consider a shot on a game animal in terms of distance, even at that others things come into the equation.

Shooting is a skill like any other. That saidI prefer a wedge vs a long iron!;)

I agree with MinnFinn, not a flattering reflection of our sport.[:-]

WhileI acknowledge the skill required to hit a target that far away I just personally don't care for trying shotsat live game from those distances. I also wonder as another poster said before how often they wound animals they never find.I found it sort of telling when that one guy on that video said, "Now you hit that one" after one shot. The way he said that sort of implied that they hadn't hit some of them. I have read some threads at a few websites that actually have a permanent long range hunting section in their forums. Despite the way that video makes it look these guys who do thisdo not score consistent first shot hits on these deer from those distances. They miss a lot and with good reason. Even slight shifts in wind speed or direction can change your POI notby a number ofinches butby a number offeet at 800 to 1000 yards. My personal belief is that you should limit your shot distance to the range at which you can consistently score a first shot lethal hit the vast majority of the time. That distance will of course vary from hunter to hunter butI don't think that anyone no matter how much they practice can consistently hit the vitals on a deer at 890 yards with their first shot. There arejust too many variables.

QUOTE "WOW now thats far. 890yds. Just wondering did I see the bullet as it was travelling towards thesecond deer?. Must have been a tracer? Now that I dont agree with."
thats not a tracer roundyou will get that with any bullet thats humidity (moisture in the airwatch a few hunting videos and youll see some i bet the more hunid it is the easyier it is to see it.man thats osom accuracy i wonder if he is useing a 7mm mag for that or what because thats cool i like shooting long distance on coyotes deer i like to be a lil closer

RE: Long range hunting! *VIDEO*
 

I AGREE!!!!If it is legal, let it be. Hunters fighting amongst each other is THE biggest threat to our sport.

RE: Long range hunting! *VIDEO*
 

The first shot definately wasn't a 7mm rem mag used as it shows a caseand it doesn't have a belt!

RE: Long range hunting! *VIDEO*
 

Probably a custom rifle chambered in .30-378 WBY Mag.which is a flat shooting.30 caliber bullet traveling in excess of 3500 ft per sec would be my guess.

RE: Long range hunting! *VIDEO*
 

Thats CRAZY GOOD SHOOTING

RE: Long range hunting! *VIDEO*
 

Not sure if this is long range shooting or long range hunting.
