[QUOTE="BLK, post: 1546547, member: 27177"] Anyone shooting at an Elk at 1500 yards is not an ethical hunter. I suppose it is possible. It is highly improbable however. I suspect if your buddy told you that he was grossly over estimating the yardage or his range finder is way way off. If you ask most people to guess yardage of an Elk at 300 yards they won't be within 150 yards of the actual yardage unless they have practiced guessing and then verifying with an accurate range finder. 100 yards off at 1500 yards is a total miss. Wind drift is critical to know for a 1500 yard shot. All of the above spells missed or worse: wounded animals. If your friend was a special forces sniper shooting a 50 cal with all the bells and whistles then let him have at it. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
