I've started going out 2-3/week and shooting only one shot each time. I started at 500 yds. I put a piece of 10x10 steel out and find that only giving my self one cold bore shot has really improved my effectiveness. I find I pay much more attention to the environmental conditions. It puts more "pressure" on me to make that first round hit as if I'm hunting. I'm out to 800 and just missed due to a bad wind call. I'll go out several more times at 700-800 yards. So for now I'd say my effective hunting range is under 700 yards. Seems to be a good way to test hunting situations. I'm laying on my pack in a field and can get different slopes and the wind is always blowing. Just thought I'd share because a lot of my friends seem to think they are lethal past 900 just because they hit a 15x15 piece of steel a few times. This is rarely a first round cold bore hit. I was one of those guys until I started giving myself one round a day.
