Best of the West!!!

[JoshT]

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

I ordered the Chuck Norris Roundhouse Killing system a couple of years ago... it's almost too effective... as Hoytstaffinfection says "that's not hunting".

Now, I shoot a .300 RUM out to 1k all the time... the schitt ain't rocket science. Even guys with little to no experience can take my rifle and hammer on milk jugs at 600 with relitive ease. Just dial in the proper dope... hold the X on the target... and whammy! The tough part is shooting your ACTUAL drop chart and knowing the small adjustments to make for shot angle, and wind.

I don't advicate taking a rifle out of the box and shooting it at critters 1/2 a mile away... but shots like that can be made. I also don't advicate shooting at 200 yards if you can't hit stuff at that range... but most guys will take that shot no questions asked... regardless of their ability. I don't see anybody ranking on those guys. Bottom line... KNOW YOUR LIMITS... 100, 200, 500 yards... whatever... but the sign of a true HUNTER isn't the shots he makes, it's the ones he passes up.

I know I can shoot my RUM better at 600 than most guys can shoot their "hunting" rifles at 200... but that's what I practice. I know my limits, I pass up shots... but I'm ready to make the good poke too... I guess that makes me an unethical killer.

dont even get me started on best of the west i cant stand that show it is a shameless plug to sell huskema optics and gunwerks long range rifles, after every kill they have to use the rest of the show to explain how if you too buy this system you can make these same shots and then at the end they say one or two words about practice, but i think they should stress the practice more because im sure there are probably about 10000 *censored*es out there right now with these "shooting systems" who dont shoot more than 20 rounds a year at 200 yards and think that they too can shoot 600-1000 yards. i quit watching that show long ago

I tend to agree.  I have 0 problem with long shots per se'.  But this show is all about selling their products and setting up scenarios to shoot long distance so they can beat their chests and make videos.  I do believe they know their stuff though.

O.K. I dont see the harm in it if thats what you do then good for you all you bowhunters say its all about being close well its the same perspective there all about how far it is... I bow hunt and also long range rifle hunt If you can make the shot and have practiced on the range and proven it several times then great. Your Bow takes just as much time, If your shooting 60 yards with a bow its the equivalent as shooting 600. My warm up shooting starts at 500 and I'm shooting a 3" group thats plenty good. i have made shots out to 1,000... And in Ideal conditions I wouldnt have a problem shooting a deer or bear at that distance. So to you guys who feel its not a challenge I dont get you theres, so much that comes in to factor wind, temp, humidity, elevation, So lets just say dont worry about the way other people are hunting if its legal then awesome.

The main issues I have are 1) They let inexperienced hunters shoot at long ranges with their equipment. Have seen a few shows where a novice was given instruction, and is then expected to do it.

Second issue, they use target style hollowpoint bullets for big game hunting. At long ranges, it may work okay, but have seen them take a few close shots on big game, like moose. Those Bergers aren't designed for weight retention, heavy bone, etc. They are a hollow point. Am I missing something? Are they bonded? Are they designed for anything more than long range shooting (vs hunting)?
