How Many Are True "LR" Shooters?

[blksno]

Over time, it seems I am reading more and more posts from members who have never shot true LR, and for the purposes of this discussion, I will refer to "rough" NRA standards of SR (0-300yd) MR (400-600yd) and LR (800-1,000), but some of us use the 1/4 mile rule of SR: 0-440, MR: 441-880 and LR: 881-1320 yards. Yes, there are gaps between those NRA, so lets say 601-1,000yds is LR.

With that said, I read a fair amount of posts were the shooter claims to never shoot beyond 300yd, 400yds or 500yds, and from time to time, I read posts of shooters/hunters that are critical of others for shooting beyond "their" self determined limits.

So, since this is a LR/ELR hunting and shooting forum, I am just curious how many actually shoot LR (601-1,000yds) and then how many actually shoot game or even varmints at same?

I shoot NRL/PRS style matches so routinely we are doing 1200 yds, and occationally 1400 yds. Furthest I've shot for more than just the occasional plink or two is a Mile. I think I went 6-10 back in the day.
I've taken roughly a dozen pokes at 2206 but am yet to make impact. Grass is just too tall to spot misses during the time I go out there so it's tough.

Longest shot sent at game was a one shot kill on a pronghorn at 931. Dead right there.

I killed 12 Does between 550 to 680 yards this summer. I killed 1 at 895 yards. All shot with my 6.5-06 and 147eldms. I shoot targets out to 1000 fairly often but conditions have to be perfect before I'll shoot game past 800.
