[QUOTE="1lessdog, post: 311762, member: 6971"] We snuck with 25 yds of a group of goats this year, buddy made a poor shot and wounded a buck with his 270. Buck laid down at 409 yds. I slid my PRC over to him, ranged the animal, called the shot and he was able dispatch it. There was no way to sneak that wounded buck, we’d have had to try and would’ve end up pushing a wounded animal instead of just taking care of business. Long range has its advantages. As they say, practice for long to shoot for short. Your buddy cant make a 25 yd shot and then you stick him behind a rifle at 409 yds and he makes a good shot. Figure the average shot 217 yds. A shooter that cant make a 25 yd shot has no business shooting out to 400 yds. Piss poor excuse if you ask most shooter well, guys that are going to come shoot at the range the day before season starts speaks volumes to the “caliber” of shooters your taking your opinion from, I said one to two weeks before opening week end not one day. Maybe you need to fabricate a story to make your sound a little bit better. [/QUOTE]
