I'm all for shooting in a practical competition format occasionally rather than a casual shoot as it will tell you a hell of a lot more about your ability than a casual shoot. You can't compare the 2 things.

So when you go hunting/shooting you carry one rifle to shoot out to 1600 + yards ?.........

As I understand it, it use to be shot in two parts long & really long courses.

Then a few guys used two rifles.

You can still learn a lot from a causal shoot, possibly a lot more as you aren't restricted to shots fired so you can figure out where your shots are going if you are having trouble spoytting them, which has happened in the past.
