What's everyones fascination with shooting at 1000+yards?

[REDX]

Well it used to be 500. Now it is 1000, 5 years from now it will be one mile. Today's rifles, optics, rangefinding and ballistic data are making it easier and easier. 500 yards today is an absolute chip shot, you don't even need to be good at the fundamentals at that range.

Five years from now will be three miles. right now everybody is getting into the 1-2 mile realm

Lots of ground hogs killed at distances over 600yds and that is a small target.
I know guys that shoot Elk out west at distances over 1000yds lots of fun for them .

The Elk... not so much!

Craziness. Finding places to do it will be the limiting factor.

You guys should have a teenage daughter who is chasing that long range steel, and the equipment to achieve it. Her new chassis from MPA should be arriving today.

Oh wait I know......

People watch too many movies. The odds of ever taking a shoot over three hundred yards for anyone is pretty slim and yes I have made 1000 yard shots with iron sights on a machine gun in training but never have I made or attempted a 1000+ yard shot in a real world situation. Why? because it is a waste of ammo. Wait until the target gets closer. And If you are attempting 1000+ yard shots on game/wildlife you are an asshole who is going to wound or injure game.

My rant for today.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel ? LOL Thanks.
