How Far is Too Far? Wyoming Legislature Mulls Shot Distance Restrictions

[Cornbread]

If Wyoming would go to open sights only, how far would 31.5 MOA get a person? Asking for a friend.

We had a guy at our long range that had these same sights on a rifle he was going to use on a hunt in France. He also said they shoot at running animals over there. How ethical is that??? I say, find a cure for narcissim first.

We have people that speed in a 30mph zone even tbough elderly and kids ride their bikes. Its a 30mph zone and some are driving tractor trailers and half-ton crew cabs doing 40-50mph in a residential neighborhood. When ya wave to tell them to slow down, they pop ya tbe bird and speed up. Aholes will be Aholes.

Ummm, I take it you’ve never hunted whitetail drives. Asking for a friend.

The Redfield Accurange scope came out in 1966 according to the Google. I saw one used successfully at 600 yards on an elk in 1972. Leupold brought them back after acquiring Redfield years ago and I used one effectively on targets to 650 yards at that time. I never tried to go further. Like 10 years ago.

In my lifetime we have never lacked the technology to do stupid things.

If I was king I would pursue weapons restrictions immediately after banning kill shots on video posted online.

Of course, I say this before the lobbyists show up offering bribes.

The "Kill Shots" on the internet are doing enormous damage to the public image of hunters.
