    Very interesting and surprising for me how the majority of us are 400 or under. Even guys on here who clearly knock over a few deer at longer ranges.

    I enjoy watching NZ hunter, and when I watch them set up one novice after the other and knock down animals at 600m I think surely I should be aiming further..

    Good thought...I haven't taken anyone to the range who cant shoot about MOA at 400 yards...but my gear and dialing for them. Very much a gear and knowledge thing rather than any particular shooting skill I reckon.
