It's amazing to me, how much more difficult it is as the range increases.
Hitting a 1-1/2 minute plate at 600 isn't even a challenge- and I don't consider myself to be more than a bit above average in skill, and with an "OK" rifle...

1000 yards is a different ballgame. Bullet velocity decreasing, drop, drift, all much more so than in the first 600. Wind calls, esp. in a challenging environment, can be downright frustrating. The only cure is trigger time, and in my case, trying to glean some pointers from the experts there that understand how to read the conditions.
