Good luck on your hunt by the way.
I'm slightly jealous as I have so much work right now that I'm working 6-7 days a week for the foreseeable future. Not much hunting for me.

Are you only practicing on steel/ rocks? Because I heard it right here that those of us that shoot steel don't know how to shoot at live flesh and blood.
Good luck on your hunt by the way.

Lots of difference between steel/paper and hair. I've personally have witnessed guys that can punch paper totally blow it on animals time and time again. Some even in this thread. :chuckle: Bears shot in the foot/paw, deers briskets split. :o

I'm working on it! Sent my John Deere 4300 to the doctor because of how much I've been working on it. Should have it back this week, maybe. :) Those three point hitches aren't so tough. :chuckle:

I would be very impressed seeing someone make a kill shot on a live animal at 1500 yards though. Whats the flight time of a .338 at that distance? Gotta be long enough for a bear to take an unexpected step or two...resulting in a foul shot. Too many risks involved in a shot that far for me to chance wounding an animal. But would love to see someone pull it off.Here is a short video of Shawn Carlock showing the possibilities of taking the long shot on animals.
While not quite 1500, the basics are the same and with the proper training and equipment, 1500 is doable.

Time of flight in my Edge is right at 2 seconds at 3500' elevation. As long as the animal is calm, the shot is good to go. Shot a coyote in Montana at 1732yds and he stood still long enough for the bullet to get to him and roll him. Multiple deer and elk over 1k as well. If they are amped up, or rutting bucks chasing does, it becomes a little more challenging and one has to be a little more carefull.
