A friend took some enthusiastic successful deer hunters out on his acreage with laser ranged targets. They had very optimistic ideas about the ranges of their past kills and their future capabilities. All were out of gas by 300 metres*, many well before. Some had best stick to 200 yards... which typically looked like 400 to their naked eyes.
I don't think I could make a sure shot that far except with a solid position, rangefinder and sight dope approaching target range conditions.
