Having shot thousands of rounds over the years, I am beyond certain that I no longer practice enough to attempt shots much beyond 200 yards. I can hit a pie plate 100% of the time with absolute certainty out to 200 with my Bushnell Elite 3200s, 4200s or VX2 Leupold. I also have never had one of these cheap scopes fail right back to the Bausch and Lomb, Vari X days.
I do not push legal light and have never had even the slightest problem seeing and hitting animals through my scopes. I am also certain that I hear as many shots in the 1/2 hour before and after legal light as the first and last 1/2 hour of legal light. Perhaps that is a factor in the equation for some, although I am sure none of AOs fine members would partake in such behavior.
