Shooting in a match you will also learn to deal shooting under stress. http://www.nrahq.org/compete/highpower.asp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues Sniper Report post Posted September 12, 2012 No black and white answer here. Just always testing your limits, trying to become a better shooter and extend your max range. Bench practice is great, but it doesn't compare to actual field practice. Picking out rocks, going through your routine, reading wind, getting in field positions, and lettin the lead fly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. I shoot long range and Silhouette high power and small bore. Its much more stressful to have a deer in you scope. That being said, shooting competitively forces you to develop trigger control, breathing and being comfortalble behind a rifle. I would recomend it to everyone, very humbling.

Broken Wheels Report post Posted September 12, 2012 Interesting question and the honest answer I would think lies in each individual as there can't be a black n white answer for all. I know my Uncle was one of the best trap n skeet shooters i ever saw but he couldn't hold my Father's jock strap when it came time to hunting quail or dove! Good question to stir the pot though for sure! Allen, how did the show go last night at Game n Fish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean a long range "harvester of wildlife" not "killer" Carl! We don't want to give the tree huggers any ammunition or votes for Obama do we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2hunt Report post Posted September 13, 2012 I would say that I am among the best long range shooters around! When my buddies ask me "Why did you miss that deer at 100 yrds?" I show them that "I actually intended to hit the tree next to it." Anyone can hit a deer at 100 yards....it takes true skill to "barely" miss them. Likewise at any range, 1-1000 yards I hit everything my barrell is pointed at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he said exactly what needs to be said and called it how it is! Harvesting is in regards to crops... Corn, wheat. A deer, elk, cow etc is killed so we can eat it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
