[QUOTE="CONatureBoy, post: 2214503, member: 118769"] I consider 'long range' (hunting or competition) to mean a distance long enough that you can't just point and shoot (perhaps guessing drop and windage [I]a la[/I] Kentucky windage). I start worrying about wind at 300-500 yards, depending on its severity. I can hold over a big-game animal OK out to 500 yards or so--if I know the distance. (I have the drop chart memorized to 500 yards.) Beyond 500 it's reading the wind and a Kestrel or drop chart all the way. I'm curious how others define "long-range hunting." (Is that a can of worms?!) [/QUOTE]
