[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2919445, member: 1951"] I think you are spot on. I think we live in an age where an experienced long range shooter can plop their money with gun, glass & ammo…then within 20 shots ring an IPSC at 1000 yards. I would argue they would need another 100 issue free rounds to become proficient enough with that rifle to be comfortable to 1000 yards on game. That is not learning to shoot at 1000 yards, just learning that rifles quirks. I think much of what we are talking about here has nothing to do with the tool and everything to do with just not knowing how to shoot. Even a class can get you on a 1000 yard IPSC in 20 rounds, but you need the other 300 plus rounds to develop the skill to shoot even just to the class conditions! For example, I was shooting my 14” 30 Herrett at 300 yards in 4 - 12 moa 9 o/c winds. I wasn’t necessarily learning to shoot, more learning how to hold over/off with my plex reticle. Holding 9.3 moa over and 5 moa left is a little bit of a challenge with a plex reticle. Luckily from center to thick is 6 moa! [/QUOTE]
