> back into hunting and target shooting, initially to 1,000 yards
I guess my post was confusing. I didn't mean that I was going to try and hunt to 1000, just that I wanted to try the long line target shooting up to 1000, and hunt, as well.
I have shot at and occasionally hit the Buffalo Gongs at 900 yards at black powder matches. It's great fun, and sounds neat when that big lead slug does hit the gong, a full sized buffalo cut out of steel plate and suspended on chains.
