Thread: What distance do you shoot game animals?

Then you have your own shooter ability.

I'm very comfortable out to 600m in not to bad conditions and in perfect conditions with my big banger 1100m.
But then to qualify that I do a lot of long range target shooting as have my own steel range and another 2 close by that we use.

I have total faith in my weapons systems and ballistic solvers so then I just have to decide is it an ethical shot on the day.
My 2 cents

No can of worms !!!
Par for the course
Depends mostly if not solely on your terrain etc that you have to hunt in
I shot the mid North Island for years and my average distance on shots was 5-20m
But I had no open terrain/country it was all bush and the very occasional track shot without bloody Toe Toe blocking the line of sight
