I also agree, hunting in the mountains is certainly not always synonymous with long range shooting.

In our regions we also hunt in low mountain ranges that are hardly higher than 1000m and often very densely forested. There is also no need to shoot at great distance.

Different, however, in the plain in the wide Rhine valley, where this type of shots would be necessary from time to time, especially at roe deer, shots which, however, are hardly feasible for safety reasons in areas with high human population density.

My experience with long range shooting when hunting refers primarily to the high mountains of Central Asia, where I could hardly shoot below 200m at altitudes well over 4000m, and where above all I would have to shot game at up to 400m.

I did not use a particularly special weapon at that time, and the weight of the weapon also never played a role either.

As far as the problem of long range shots is concerned, I also agree that, due to the flight time of the bullet, there can be problems with a game that are moving, and in the case of a wounded animal that it is extremely difficult to find the spot at a great distance where the animal was hit, for find it or start a blood tracking.
