If you say so. I will assume you have shot at both often and know from experience. I am sure you would not make that assertion with out trying both with the appropriate practice and equipment.
I have sufficient skill to shoot at moving game out to 200 or 225 yards. Shots farther than that the target would have to standing still and slightly quartering.
Beyond that range and environmental conditions start playing havoc with the bullet and the further the distance the more the bullet is affected. If you are a shooter, you know this.
the LD and VLD bullets designed for 1000 yard shooting are not suitable for killing game.
With a sustained 10 mph wind r-t-l or l-t-r how far will a:
22 cal bullet drift
25 “ “ “
26 “ “ “
27 “ “ “
and so on and so on up caliber?
While I do use telescopic sights (2.5x - 7x Leupold)I have never used a rangefinder and I never will.
I was taught to hunt by my father and I have decent skill at estimating the range to deer or elk sized animals.
He also taught me, and experience has borne this out, 9 out of every 10 hunts is unsuccessful.
I am a hunter, not a digital age guy who needs technology.
Using that junk is not hunting.
But it is a free country, for now, and you can do what you want.
However, I would ask a favor of you, let me know where you’re hunting. I would hate to get shot cresting a small rise because I am between you and that animal 1000 yards away.
Have a Blessed Day! FRiend.
