    BC 100% does matter at field matches. BC directly effects wind drift. the less drift you have the more tolerance you have in a slightly off wind call. In saying that I shoot a lot of PRS/field...

    In years past all our deer shot in the northern bush were under 100 - many under 50m. Occasional one out to 200 in clearings etc. Not more.

    That would pretty much sum me up too. Most bush shots are 20 or less. Open country maybe 50 to 200. Almost none over 200. After a life time of hunting, there have been very few I couldn't drop to...
