[Scorch]

Yes, everybody thinks they are crack shots, and everybody thinks their shots are a lot farther away than they think. Well, most people. I watched a guy shooting at an antelope that was 700 yds away, swore he hit it several times, but when he tried to walk out to where the antelope was standing he got tired before he got there. I watched another guy shoot at a deer that was 250-ish yards away and miss. When I asked what happened, he said that he must not have held over enough with his 25-06, but he had only held over about 12" (should have been a hold dead on, DRT shot). People are funny, they practice at 100 yds with bullseye targets, then wonder how come they can't hit animals in the field. Very few people practice range estimation. Very few people practice under field conditions. Bottom line, if you don't practice under field conditions, you will not be able to shoot very far under field conditions.
