I can shoot mine that far and farther. Hitting what I am shooting at is a whole different story.  :chuckle:

It's possible to remove a screw with a butter knife - but that doesn't mean a screwdriver isn't a better option.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

The way I see it is at 250 yards you have lost half of your velocity already,Nearing 1000 ft. per second,By the time it went another 250 yards its not moving with enough energy.  :twocents:
