Thread: longer range hunting

Just did a little jam on my calculator with my boyfriend's .308, enough energy with 150gr past 900yards.

So.. The world is your oyster

My 2c: just get closer. It's your first animal, there's already plenty to be stressed out about. Have fun.

I've recently whacked my longest kill to date, 443yards. I happily shoot 400 at the range all the time but I tell you what, 400+ on a real live animal is a fuckin' long way away. It takes a lot of things to all come together to make those successful longer range kills happen.

Not saying anyone is embellishing the truth but it might just pay to note that anyone who tells you a distance they shoot deer at, yet don't possess a range finder, well...
Personally I know only three people that are consistently shooting animals 500-1000+yards.

There's a good thread on here somewhere about the average distance of deer shot by forum members. Good food for thought. Spoiler alert: it's around 200yards.

Anyway..
