“long shot”

Like most fears, shooting at long distance targets is mostly mental.

Although it has the same range limitations as standard steel shot, Black Cloud breaks new ground with a higher level of lethality at an affordable price.

Bowhunting is a game conducive to thick cover, tight quarters and close shots. That most bowhunters set their stands for in-your-face encounters is highlighted by a survey I saw recently.

The equipment wielded by bowhunters has evolved substantially in the last three decades. Has that changed the rules behind shot selection? Bill Winke investigates.

So you want to be a long-range hunter? You have a super-accurate rifle and you have tuned the ammo until it punches little bug holes in the target instead of groups. The trigger is crisp and clean and you have the best optics money can buy on top of the gun.

As a general rule it seems that the less field experience a given pundit has, the more he is in favor of taking pokes at critters nearly a mile away.

The action unfolds at the Squirrel Master Classic, hosted by Gamo Outdoor USA.

The new Remington Model 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader is one serious smokepole, but will it really let you reach out to 300 yards?
