Ummm - - - - Pointy sticks, shotguns and the rest are not all that effective in most of Eastern Washington. Lots of deer, including Blacktails, are taken at ranges well in excess of 200 yards.

Or muzzle loader or revolver. Why the hell would you need a rifle to kill anything in this state?

The Roosevelt elk of the Olympic are bigger than the elk on the over on the east side.

Hey gang, how is everyone? Long time since I've been here. Alot going on at the homefront. Does anyone know someone who wants to buy 2 (2004) blasters- barely ridden- comes with both dirt and sand tires? My sisters friend is selling them for $4k for the lot. I am trying to get a picture. I have been told that they only rode them 3-4 times and don't have time anymore. Been sitting for a while. Let me know and I'll pass it on. Thanks. Hope all is well with y'all.

Is that the track on the east side of I-5 just as you're coming into Albany? How long is the dragstrip?

Like I said before, shooting far mostly takes practice. Damn near anyone can do it, with that practice. Admittedly most don't practice enough or at all and think it is a big challenge. But it should only take one shot, if you have done the required practice.

Gotta disagree with you on this one Bear. Having been involved in the shooting sports for a number of years I have seen many, many people that really worked at becoming competitive long range shooters. The majority of them never quite make the grade. This has not been due to failure to practice or working at building the proper techniques. Even with outstanding equipment only a few manage to become truly competitive.
I have met perhaps three people in my life that had a real natural ability to shoot well. All of these people were under 40 years old and all were short and slender. Even these folks had a tough time making really long shots consistently. Even shooters that routinely fire the 1000 yard targets and have a good understanding of external ballistics will have fliers from time to time. The honest ones will admit to "pulling" the shot or miss-reading the range. Seldom is it a bad round.
To advocate that this skill level can by attained by nearly anyone is sorely belittling the level of talent displayed by the truly proficient long range shooter.
Very few people have ever set up a target at 300 yards, let alone 500 or 1000 yards, and had a go at hitting it. If they elect to do this I would suggest they start with a target about three times the size they expect to need.

The license is the cheapest part of any hunting or fishing trip.
