For me, "Long Range" means 400 yards on a still day and 200 yards on a windy day when using a rifle which I can shoot <1 MOA out to 400 yards. When using my Desert Eagle in .50 AE, "Long Range" will probably mean <100 feet when a rest is available and <50 feet without one (at least until I get a lot more practice!). I am one very conservative shot and I have yet to shoot at game over 160 yards away.

Cheers,
David Curry

P.S. This is a very congenial group and really enjoy being part of it
