What is long range to you?

[Unclecroc]

For me anything beyond 300 yards

Assume you mean scoped rifle? In that case I agree with most posters here, 350yds give or take is starting to get long range. Archery obviously different. When my uncle passed away and I got his Colt Python handed down to me, I decided to deer hunt with it in his honor. With an iron sighted 357, I felt 50 yards was pretty long range.

like some others have said, the deciding factor is the moment I have to think about anything other than settling the crosshairs right on and getting a solid trigger press. Another rule of thumb I use as well is if I have to modify my shooting position anything other than standing to get solid on it. Using both of these methods, Its usually within 200 yards

For me Long Range is where my equipment, & capabilities get tested.

For me I would say “long range” is dependent on position and wind. I’m fortunate to have a public property range where I can shoot anytime from 200-900 yards. I practice all field positions there and have developed MER for these positions. Each position’s MER is lengthened or shortened based on wind. Perfect example was a mule deer hunt last season. Had an opportunity on a buck, bedded cross canyon at 500 yards. Position was very comfortable prone on the rim of the canyon. My prone MER is 500 with wind 6ish max. In this case there was a 20+ mph wind from roughly 1:00. I did some mental calculations and came up with a windage solution that was so wide that I never seriously considered pulling the trigger…the range was too long for me.
The next day I killed a buck a couple drainages over at 512. Prone, cross canyon, lots of time, wind sub 4mph. I felt comfortable taking the shot, but it was definitely “long range” for me.
For a guy shooting thousands of rounds a year at long distances that may have been a “chip shot”. For someone who doesn’t have access to that kind of shooting it might be considered impossibly long.
