Interesting discussion and the fact that alot of people mention 500 Yards.

I was reading Sporting Shooter / Nick Harvey's answer to someone's question the
other day and in the answer he said "for normal hunting ranges to 500 Yards ...."
or words to that effect.

It really dissapoints me that writers perpetuate the thought that you can shoot game out
past 250 / 300 yards on a regular basis (excluding varmints). Most hunters I know aren't
that good shots. It's OK for Nick Harvey who probably shoots every day but I wish he
wouldn't say it as though everyone should try doing it.

Secondly, at out local range we have a Steel Plate at 500 Yards - probably 2ft Square.
One day a mate and I decided to try to hit it with open sighted guns - a lever action 45/70
and my Win Mod 70 .458WM. It took us both 7 shots to hit it and then from then on we
could do it every second or so shot.

However I still don't think we (general shooters who get that much practice)
should be shooting at game at any ranges past 300 Yard Max.

Any thoughts ?
