Re: Long Range Shooting

I have read some of the articles on long range shooting. To me it is a cross-over between hunting and bench-rest shooting, with the emphasis on probably too many expensive toys. Some of those folks take two spotting scopes and turn them into a "binocular". ALso, after spotting the quarry about a 1,000 yards or more away, they set up their shooting bench, take out their range finder, dial in the range, and shoot their 30# rifles (usually very accurately too). They also rarely get out of their vehicles, because of all their gear.

To me this is love of gizmos, and lack of tracking. Humping up the hills and being able to see other sign, figuring out the game sign, and "feeling the outside" is more important too me than using my gizmos to make a 1,200 yard kill. A long range kill is very technical and diffacult, but I will stick to tracking and and humping.

A good ananlogy would be: Spearfishing vs Technical deep diving.
