If I am not mistaken, some states have a limit on what your rifle can weigh to hunt

I surely hope we're talking about empty beer cans

Balloons may say they are biodegradable, but they really are not. We need less trash generated by shooting.

cBass would still miss his first shot
I visit and shoot in Hurricane which is in Jim's backyard about two times a week, take the nieces and nephews out shooting. There is alot of people shooting there out in the desert. I shoot a long range competition in Manti it's also a private range which I belong too. We have 2 lanes of targets out to 1,000. We shoot during competition 300-1000 yrds about 80 rounds and often there will be a person or two who will have 100 Percent impacts, the best I've ever done is only 2 misses. Long story short I believe a few people on a given day could have 100 out of 100 impacts not often though. I also think there's quite a few of us that could have a hundred percent kill shots at 300 to 600 yards. As far myself during a hunt I am picky about my shots not necessarily the distance.
I am, audience drinks and passes the empty targets to the dancing chicken to shoot at, we make fun of dancing chicken when they miss and repeat until we pass out or chicken quits

I really doubt that. It would serve no purpose.

I killed a lot of elk in Mt. with a 20 pound 338 edge. Funny thing is I never had a prone shot. They were all off a knee or a bipod on a jacket over a sage brush. Weight is good in every way other than packing. Some guys are willing to pack it others are not. Doesnt mean its not huntable.

Of course, there are definitely some, but I'm quite sure it's a minority of those who think they can. You're describing practice, most people don't, they just think they're naturally gifted because they are told so, just like the grown adults we see on I 15 getting nowhere but telling themselves they're so graceful, so coordinated, while they weave around making others brake. They get a few groups off a bench at 100y a year and download an app. There's a lot of people out there with 2 moa setups they say are .5 because of one group, plugging in unverified MV from somewhere and hitting the woods. The same goes for bowhunters around here. Of course there are people who have a high level of skill, we do after all have unlimited places to practice, but you and I both know people who are dishonest about it.
Me and my wife are thinking of moving down there to sanpete, it's on our list, we got stuck in Davis way too long for two people raised in the woods. Not that we want to contribute to building up the rural areas but it's a matter of survival and sanity at this point.

From what I've seen...it's a SINGLE STATE, but as I've said...you're artificially tailoring the "challenge" to the requirements of one specific state.
Why? For what purpose?
It would be no different than forcing the challenger to use a strait wall cartridge like the 350 Legend since thats a requirement for Ohio.
Makes no sense to do that either.
Must be where I saw it didn't hit Montana draw one year went to Idaho. My 300 rum is probably at limit or over. 28in bartlein sendero wood stock with s&b on top. Bipod sling will have to weigh it just for curiosity
