[QUOTE="justgoto, post: 443052, member: 17125"] Oddly enough, I tried [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taKguKHRrdQ"]my first attempt at offhand shooting at 300 yards[/URL] 4 days before this thread was started... I was under the assumption that I would only need that type of skill in a self defense situation, so I used a human silhouette. I only took 2 shots, I hit the large target once but still counted it as a miss since I missed the 6 inch steel that was to be the kill zone. The day before i tried at 200 yards, I hit the whole target twice in two shots, hitting the 4 x 5 inch kill zone once, [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKAYqL0qDN0"](I took 2 shots over 2 days.)[/URL] Those 2 hits were less than a deer kill zone in size yet the one was a miss wounding whatever animal I may have been shooting at. Groups don't count if your not hitting the specific area for a clean kill. I bet I could get good at it, if I had a scope I bet I could be very good at it, but it is just a game. I would still find a rest to shoot from at either distance, (and in a self defense situation cover,) when it counted. Heck, when I shot my deer this season, (357 handgun,) it was running full bore and I still instinctively ran 50 feet for a rest before I took the 65 yard shot. I didn't need to, I just feel the game I take, needs to be killed as cleanly as humanly possible. [/QUOTE]
