Long Range Shooting
      19/07/04 05:34 AM

Just a simple question.

We are all aware of all the new Superboomers and all the claims about how flat shooting they are and how much farther they are accurate than the older cartridges. While most of this is just hype and not lodged in reality it raises a question as to what distance hunting just becomes long range target practice.

I don't have a problem with people who want to shoot an animal at 600 plus yards, if they are part of the 2% that can actually kill an animal at that distance, but is it still hunting or just shooting?

What about the guys with the .50BMGs who want to shoot at 1000 yards? Are they hunters or target shooters. Or are they just lazy?
