I am constantly amazed at what sort of groups some hunters, like Critter, are shooting with their hunting rifles. Daaayyyummmmm! I have been shooting rifles since I was a little tiny chit, barely out of diapers. I can kill stuff consistently enough with my old 06' and my $250 scope... but at 600 yards, which by the way I've NEVER shot a group at that distance, I'm almost positive my groups would be many, MANY feet big.
With that said, I've taken those shots!! And missed! Those were days long gone though. Wouldn't do it now. I feel pretty comfortable out to about 400, which is max I practice at...and RARELY.
My longest kill was on a bear at probably 400. All of my elk have been 80-120 yards. Deer about the same. Moose 90 yards.
I did nail two PD's at 475 with a buddys AR last year. That was awesome...for me!
Matt, How much does that gun weigh?
OK....archery. I have missed 2 bulls and slightly, nonmortally wounded one... 25 yards, 25 yards, 37 yards. I can sit and shoot targets, 3d's, etc...from wierd angles, off balance, on my knees, treestands...whatever and hit a 4 inch or so cirlce most every shot at 50-60 yards... But I can CLEAN MISS a bull at 25? Do I need to limit my shots to 10 yards? I dont think so... but maybe?
