Animals get shot/missed/wounded at 5-1500 yards? My point is, the chance of an accurate shot is infinetly better at even 300 yards than 1100. It's all guess work past 500 yards.

Actually it's no more guess work at 1,000 yards than it is at 500 with wind.
it takes experience and lots of trigger time to learn how to dope wind, but it can and does get done every day.
As far as range finder inaccuracy goes, there are some very good ones out there, but they are expensive, same as the optics used for spotting such as the Swarovski big eyes, other higher end Leica rangefinder binoculars that are accurate at those ranges.
