I swear i am not being a pessimist but it seems kind of strange that one could make that kind of a shot on a coyote without knowing to the yard how far.  It seems almost impossible to make that shot just by saying "700 yards or so."  At that range, to be off by 25 yards is a huge deal.  It is not the same as the difference between 75 and 100.  Congrats on such a shot, i know i couldnt do it.

the range finder said 710 yards i believe when i went out and ranged back to my car i got 725 or rite around there and i shot maybe a yard or two from my car. so 700 ish i had my scope dialed for 700yards and dropped the coyote on the second hit. first hit would have killed him with in another 10 minutes or so, but i hurried that along.

No pics? That is a long shot I wish I felt comfortable popping a shot off at that distance.
