[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 780100, member: 35183"] A lot of people in the midwest think a 100 yard shot on a coyote is "long range" but it is not always true. Most of the time, line of sight is the biggest issue and the other thing common to relatively flat terrain is having a safe backstop. I have had the opportunity to engage coyote pairs at 250 yards and often, they never stop moving, since they do not like hanging around in open spaces. So taking the first shot one has to range, line up, lead and shoot. By the time you get on the second one the distance has opened up 100 yards and he is going like a bat out of hell. In my case, by the time he stopped it was 450 yards, and I only had a couple of seconds to react. I missed using my SFP Kentucky windage (Nikon plex reticle). I feel a lot more confident now with my Vortex, but I also have more practice although not shooting at coyotes... That is one of the only issues here, that I might have 4 sightings and kill 3 coyotes. Thats not a lot of practice for 80 days in the field. I think you guys out west get more "live" practice than we do... [/QUOTE]
