In my mind taking a 500yd rifle shot cleanly no warm up is similar to taking a 150yd shot with a bow. Sure it can be done, but you have to really have your skills honed and conditions have to be ideal. In either case i would do my best to get in closer if at all possible.

I shoot both bow and rifle. To me, any day, any circumstance, warmed up, cold, etc.etc. the 500 yard rifle shot is always easier. Not that 50 is a hard shot with a bow, but 500 is a much easier shot with proper rifle, scope, and rests. I only shoot long out of my towers where I have proper rests. No way I would shoot 500 off hand or off a limb. Even with a 320 fps bow, I have gotten string jumped enough to turn a good shot into a dog's have to run the deer down shot.
