[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1523013, member: 71039"] The challenges of posting on a public forum. I got reamed on a different thread for mentioning my 11 year old shot a blackbear at 300 yards with a 243. Someone from Maine lit into me about how irresponsible that shot was and how dare we shoot it with such a small caliber blah blah blah. He had no idea what the conditions were the equiptment used, or the time and preparation that my son put in so that we were confident in the shot. The bear hunting he was doing in Maine over bait was different than the spot and stalk we do in Idaho where we have lots of long shots across canyons etc. I think if you have a way to practice those kinds of shots on antelope and you are confident you are going to kill the animal and not wound it, good on you. Most people don’t practice those shots, nor would they pull the trigger in a scenario like yours. Thus the responses that you got. Also, that could just be the magic of the 270 wsm shining through. I love mine:-) [/QUOTE]
