I used to be completely against long shots on geese from the blind. That was until i met a fellow that could drop birds consistently at ranges I always considered skybusting. Different folks, different tool boxes. As for the poll, i could not take part as I have never taken any long shots on big game. I shoot to the point blank range of my rifle, with the spine as a near maximum holdover point. From my experience at the range, shooting from different positions, long range hunting can be done effectively with the right tools. I understand some can make ethical shots way out there, while others have no business shooting past 50m. What I dont understand is why this topic tends to get heated in discussion. I dont get mad when Valentino Rossi flies around a track at 300km/h, and he doesnt get mad when I float 10km/s over the speed limit.
