[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1607609, member: 108965"] 500 is the max I give myself. At this range there are no issues, unless its one of those days when you just can't with the wind, when the wind blows and gusts 30 to 40 mph, which are pretty common, can't take that risk. I've seen bullets hit dead center on metal plate at 500 meters and then the next shot miss the center by 6" to a foot with a simple wind gust That said most of my shots are around 300. I do prefer to get closer but then there are days with just a light brezze when the 500 shot is just perfect. Every hunting situation is different, and we have to make the best decision for the animal on the other end. [/QUOTE]
