[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 2404367, member: 74902"] Used to bow hunt a lot for several years mostly due to the woods getting a little crowded during gun season. Dozen or so years ago was setting watching some other bow hunters on the other side of the canyon (6 or 7 hundred yards away). There was a nice heard of elk with a good bull about 200 yards below them, but they obviously had no idea the elk were there. Watched it all for a half hour or so until the elk finally wandered off into the woods and the two hunters were never the wiser. Watching all of this I thought it would be cool to be able to shoot that far cause I had a great view of those elk for quite a while. So I checked into it. I was amazed when I found out that it was possible. I also found out that long range hunting was frowned upon by what seemed like everybody I talked too. Including 600 yards target shooters! Started gearing up and finally found my home here on the LRH forum! I am glad that LRH has become more mainstream with all the new gear and such. I'm not so shy about discussing it with anyone now and love to practice long range shooting. Good therapy! [/QUOTE]
