[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1313042, member: 1132"] This: You may be able to hit that pie plate 3 for 3 three days of the week, but that still doesn't represent your actual ethical range. Most human animals like to measure their limits by their best performance, when they should measure it by their worst. Anyone's max range will vary from day to day. Today it might be 350. Tomorrow it might be 200 if you got a bad nights sleep and you're all jacked up on coffee & sugar to stay awake. Ol' Fred might not be able to hit a deer broadside beyond 60 yards. It's not about what you can do, it's about what you can do at the moment the shot presents itself. A man ought to know his limitations at all times in the field is all I'm saying. FWIW, I've never shot at a deer beyond 100 yards. I've had opportunities at longer ranges and passed due to the conditions at the time. The 100 yard shot was offhand and a clean kill. I knew when I pressed the trigger that the deer was gonna be a goner. :) [/QUOTE]
