I shoot out to about 200 yrds. I will make some people mad on this subect, because people alwayssay that if you can take a 600 yrd shoot and make a humain kill them its ok and ethical and it may be ok but its not hunting. I know that some of the goats are hard to get close too and out west long shots are normal but I also know guys who hunt in those areas that also get short shoots. I can also punch paper at 400 yrds but I would not take a shoot on a deer from there. This is just my opinion but I feel that in most situations with deer if you can get closer that than 300 yrds it may be time to learn to hunt them better. Ill leave the long range shoots for the range were im just shooting stuff because at most long distances that is all it is, shooting stuff, not hunting. If I lived in a rifle state I may extend to 250 yrds. (I also hunt soybean and corn fields alot)
