Just My Opinion... But y'all don't need to be shooting at deer that far. There's something about ethics and humane kills that get's lost in the "Best of the West" TV shows where they conveniently don't show the guide/producer dope the gun for the shooter... and of course on the Mall Ninja internet where everyone has a capable rifle at 1k + yds.
I shoot over 1k all the time. Just at Paper, Crows, Groundhogs, etc. And with a heavy barrel benchrest rifle. Too many variables come in to play and the further you get past 400-500 yds. The errors tend to multiply exponentially the further you go.
Isn't hunting supposed to be about hunting instead of shooting? If you want to just see if you can hit something paper is great.
Look - To each their own. If any of you have a different opinion, that's great don't want to argue and you're not going to change mine. I shoot that far regularly. I know the answer. Shooters shoots that far regularly. Probably ok for him to sling one. However if you don't like that think to yourself... if you are that good you'd be shooting competition we wouldn't be having this conversation because you'd have already known the answer to the OP's question. I'm not seeing where many knew the answer.
