Personally I don 't care how far anyone takes game as long as they practice and are confident. My only thought when I read the op's guestion is that if you have to ask then maybe you shouldn't.

Do you recognize the fact that at the distances this thread is discussing no shot can be made with Confidence on an Animal due to the significant Time the Bullet would need to Travel?
Or do you not care that a 1000Yd shot at any Animal is unethical or immoral,,,

Not everyone shares your beliefs... amazing, huh?

It's when you start saying you are better than others because of your beliefs that you start to piss me off.

sounds like you're another good candidate for being on the receiving end. The big guy upstairs seems to have a way to work that out! Of coarse I wouldn't wish that upon you.:)

For hunting at 1000 yards, I recommend a teleporter so you can pop up 50 yards from the elk and take a shot or if you have martial arts training just pop up beside it and take it down with a karate chop.

So because I may or may not share your god fearing beliefs, I deserve to have pain inflicted upon me?

Yikes.

I didn't even tell you whether what side of the argument I am on, you just assumed.

Open your mind a bit buddy.

This is not a true statement ... I shoot 1000yds all the time. I would have no problem making a shot on game at that distance. With the new high BC bullets and new powders .. combined with the latest in range finding technology and optics ... 1000yrds is not a difficult shot even in wind if you are practicing all the time.

I personally do not shoot game that far just because that is one hell of a long way in the field and I can always get closer. I have only taken a shot as far as 733 and it was not a big deal. I prefer to keep the shots on game inside 600 as with the current equipment I am running its like making a 2 or 300 yard shot with the standard hunting gear most guys run.

If you don't think a 1000 yard shot is ethical its because you havnt done it. Anyone that shoots 1000 yards all the time will know weather or not the conditions that are present are going to allow them to make an ethical shot , and if they don't .... They are a*sh*les

As for the crap they are pumping on these long range shows on TV ... they should all banned from hunting. Some of the crap ive seen these guys do makes me sick ! the hunters these guys are selling there gear to are typically guys with lots of money that want a quick fix for taking something they are to lazy to walk to ... They are not true long range shooters, or hunters for that matter.

Making consistant Long Range shots is something you need to keep doing nearly weekly ... as well as constantly maintain your rifle at home and checking your loads all the time making sure your gear is functioning properly. Spending a bunch of money and pulling your gun out once every 9 months and shooting at game a 1000 yards makes your an as*h*ole !!!

If you don't have that much time ... just enjoy shooting 1000+ yards when you can , its a lot of fun. When the time comes a 500 yard shot will be a piece of cake.

ok, no problem. ya called me "buddy"!:D
I really didn't see where you said that I said I was better than others, though.
I do have a huge warm red heart for animals and hate to see suffering.
I don't think kindly of folks that don't give 2 hoots about seeing animals suffer.
