[QUOTE="oden_sparks, post: 2115404, member: 9963"] Shooting stationary targets and moving animals are worlds apart brother. Not even close to the same thing; otherwise, every "competition" shooter in Oklahoma would be on the same level as our best snipers. Take guys out of their comfort zone and off their bench and bags and it changes things. Also, manipulating a 30 inch heavy barrel in hunting situations isn't as easy. When I was in the Corps I could put 10 rounds in the chest of a body target at 500 yards with an M16 shooting open sights. Now, there's no way I would have had that success hunting animals. I always think it's comical when people start bragging over targets they shoot at long range and give me grief for missing a critter at 100 yards! I coyote running full speed at 300 yards through cover is hard. Just my opinion but when you throw game into the mix its a different world. That's why the best archers in the world miss 20 yard shots. Guys who arre great rifle shots miss bucks at 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
