I dont have a issue if the person can make that shot, to me its not hunting anymore, its killing or shooting... big diff  IMO

Seems like everyone has an opinion when this topic is brought up. I think I'll keep mine to myself.

STOP EATING OUR OWN

To all you guys that think shooting an animal from long distance is just killing not hunting -

Don't forget to knock all the hunters that drive around glassing clearcuts and reprod, spot one, then get out of the truck and shoot it.  That doesn't involve a stalk or any more work than shooting something at 500 yards.  Oh and don't forget to bash all the guys who shoot deer standing in the road when they come around the corner.  I guess that's all just killing eh?

Heck I bet at least 90%+ of people on here have taken animals like that.  I guess we are all just killers not hunters.

the range of shots that they shoot on the show is not ethical for hunting. 1000 yards  i mean it takes at least 2-3 seconds for the bullet to reach who knows what the animal will do in that time... the only people that should be shooting that far are marksman/snipers in the armed forces on the battle field. a true hunter should try and do things as ethical as they possibly can. war for the most part is unethical. leave the extreme long shots out of hunting. just my

I've hunted with these guys in washington before for bear, that's when i first saw their 850 yard shots with the system. I myself couldn't believe the accuracy of the gun, but i myself put a kill shot on a small rock at 864 yards. They are ballistic genius's, it took a couple years to get the money but bought one of their scopes and put it on my 300mag last year. Hard to dial in a scope at 600 yards but eventually with a lot of shooting i was putting my shots 1.5'' low and 1.5'' to the right of the bulls eye at 650 yards. I'm not saying i can do that everytime but at least i know the gun can. Not completely sold on the scope yet, but i was very impressed on the accuracy. Reloading would be smart, their bullets are 50 dollars a box.

most of those guys do get bashed on here....

I hate to see what ends up on the cutting room floor of shows like these. 

Trophyhunt, welcome to the site.  Maybe you or someone who watches the show knows if they use ballistic calculators or dope cards for these long shots?  Or is all of this supposed to be in their scope system with a graduated reticle?

[jackelope]

they are dial scopes. get the range and dial the scope....it is very calculated though.
the bullets are loaded specifically for the setup, the rifle, scope and bullets are all built to work as one unit. they are serious rigs for sure...just not my idea of hunting.

It looks like a great system, in a vacuum.  I hope the literature they provide tells a hunter how to adjust for different elevations, how to judge wind speed, how to adjust for humidity changes,  how to adjust for temperature changes, and what the exact conditions are that the rifle is sighted in for.

Chuck Norris doesn't go hunting he goes killing; because hunting implies failure.

Thanks for the welcome, this site kicks ass. Very refreshing to have all this hunting info available for Washington hunters, my passion is elk hunting and mule deer, but any chance to get in the woods and I'm their.
