And there in lies the problem--IMHO---most people shoot a few times before going hunting and that is why a 200 yard shot seems far--then there are those that can and do shoot pretty much 12 months out of the year--either targets, varmints, whatever...

Not trying to dismiss anything that has been said or offend anyone.. probably have done enough of that on this site as it is

......however I do NOT consider a 2 or 300 yard shot to be too far--and YES, I take them at will when the opportunity presents itself--also shoot prairie dogs 10 months out of the year at ranges of 150 to 400 yards not being unusual..I am not saying that as a braging statement but merely stating that we (my friends and I) shoot alot and therfore do not feel these are extreme..

Realizing most people do not have those same opportunities or desires,, they should NOT shoot at longer ranges and yes, to them--a 200 yard shot can be considered long.

YOU are how you practice...
