So I do my preseason work up based off of what I feel is my longest possible shot opertunity.

So if I think my longest shot is going to be 400yds I practice up to 500yds. Each session will start with a cold shot from a field expedient position on a 10" plate if I can't guarantee a cold bore hit at the plus 100 expected distance I know I need more practice.

I make a consorted effort to shoot a minimum of 500 rounds during a preseason work up. So the time the hunt is upon me I know I can make a shot with 100% confidence.

Obviously I do some home work and let the terrain and the quarry dictate what my max will be.
