Thread: Are hunters taking longer shots these days?

Yep, youtube and tv shows are showing more and more long range shooting, some of them are good at it and good on them, but what they don't show is all the hours practice at the range that allows them to make those shots, i see so many videos on youtube of muppets taking 5-10 shots at a moving animal at 4-500 yards hoping for the best, or trying to shoot Tahr from the river bed with there big magnum and big scope. I will shoot to 400 (light winds) now days only after hundreds of rounds of practice at the range. Would much rather stalk as close as possible more exciting. Good on the guys who put the work in and get it done tho nothing against long range hunting at all.
