I don't understand having to take a long shot for us Hoosiers in Indiana. I've never taken a shot on any game past 50yds, yet I've only hunted in SOuthern and central Indiana.
Lately the only hunting I've been doing is popping starlings and crows with my brother's pellet gun in my back yard. I'm dropping crows with that bugger at about 25yds.
In early may I'm going to Missouri to shoot some long distance 50BMG but I have never hunted at long range.
In northern Indiana where the land is flat, long range could be critical, but in Southern Indiana, it's all hills and trees.
I'd say that 200 yds is my realistic comfort area of shooting in my neck of the woods.
