What is the longest shot you have successfully made on any type of game?
Mine was 460 yards on an antelope out here in the colorado plains. Limited by not having any form of BDC on my rifle and with my dads great range estimation of sitting behind me saying "ummm I think its about 450 yards or so." That being the closest to range finding we had I held about 6 in over its back and pulled the trigger. truely suprised that the report was a resounding "thwack" i looked in awe as the doe instantly crumpled to the ground. That was a proud moment for both my dad and I for as a 15 year old i had bagged an animal at near the farthest range he had ever hit one in his 40+ years off hunting.
Im sure that since I post this on a site designated to long range hunting I will hear far more impressive stories from far more experienced hunters and I look forward to reading every one of them!
