A LOT OF METAL PLATES RINGING, ONE AFTER THE OTHER ALL THE WAY OUT TO 600yards FOR THE 101 EDITION IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE! LOL.  Most of my shots on game have been -200yds. Once I made a 340yd shot on a standing deer(.30-06) from a quickly kneeling position(with three witnesses). I have made a 635yd shot on a cow Elk(with the .338/06, one witness). I have shot out to 1200 yards just playing around and have not counted it. I have shot out to 600yards at Sean's steel plate several times with the ole' .338/06! Only the serious distances should count here. Thanks Gents. Make sure you share your interest about our website with your family and friends. The more the merrier!             :{)

Interesting stats on this poll.
I felt embarassed to think that most of my shots, whether target or game, were no longer than my t-shots!  Embarrassed

Well, I was born in 1983.... so from my perspective you've got a good deal of experience to say the least. First animal I took at long range was in 2001 (not including coyotes).
