    When I had a long range set of targets up on a permanent basis on my previous property, I used the 1 MOA width as a measure so I would have had your 4 inch target set at 400 yards. This actually gives you half an MOA from the centre to the edge of the target and really makes you hone your skills.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
