Why would anyone come to long range hunting forum and criticize a long range shot at a speed goat? 780, 1280, 1570… it's just number in an equation and as long as it equals a stable projectile with the other variables and has the energy to do the job…. Send it. Anything beyond 400 a shooter should be using the same equation to calculate a solution for the shot. Maybe it's built into the LRF optic or phone app doesn't matter. Would I take this shot on that goat in this situation? Idk I wasn't there so I won't second guess the op. He pulled it off and has some tasty antelope for the freezer and it was cool buck!Why would anyone want chance a wounding an animal at that distance is beyond logic. Shoot Steel targets and bragg

So you're then saying a 123 grain 9mm at point blank range is not going to kill something? Here's a 124 Gr 9mm stat at point blank.I'm not buying it,not with that round,having been a swat team sniper it smells like a little bs,am still a sniper but only on deer now,we shoot 200 plus a year on our citywide deer control permits.Penetration would be negligible, as well as ft pound delivered on target. Nice antelope nevertheless.
Man, some of the worst shooters I've met were ex military, police, and "swat" guys. That credential doesn't give you a bit of credit here. I appreciate what you do as a job, but it doesn't give you any special qualifications to speak on the topic.I'm not buying it,not with that round,having been a swat team sniper it smells like a little bs,am still a sniper but only on deer now,we shoot 200 plus a year on our citywide deer control permits.Penetration would be negligible, as well as ft pound delivered on target.

One shot, one kill, what's the problem. Congratulations on that hunt and looks like your training paid off.
I do believe my qualifications give me credence to speak, interject,and lastly voice my opinion. Too bad they put bad shooters on the department you were familiar with, ours only takes the absolute best, this is metro swat where you go on call outs countywide, no place for mediocre folks just saying. Opinions are like brains, I'll await the naysayers to use their mob mentality to berate my opinion.THXMan, some of the worst shooters I've met were ex military, police, and "swat" guys.

Everyone is fully entitled to their opinion, and to each their own. My only point was that often folks like to use their LEO/military experience as a way to invalidate everyone else's opinion, and in my experience those tend to be some of the least qualified to do so.I do believe my qualifications give me credence to speak, interject,and lastly voice my opinion.

You called BS on a shooter, with qualifications, with video and a dead goat. That's different than having an opinion!!I do believe my qualifications give me credence to speak, interject,and lastly voice my opinion.
