Who here doesn’t shoot beyond 300yrds ?

[Harronek]

After spending some time here I feel that I must be an old Fudd because I don’t shoot past 300yrds / I don’t Dial my scopes elevation / I use a second focal plane scope and it doesn’t have parallax adjustment.
There must be others like me or am I relic of times past ?
So how many of you guys keep it 300yrds and in .

Me. My longest kill shot ever was just over 300 if I recall (long time ago). I now mostly hunt parcels where there are no shots more than 100. My last 20 or so white tails have been no more than 50 yards. My buck last year was an eye popping 12 yards. My doe about 40.

I will hit 73 later this month and have never killed a big game animal beyond 300 yards.

I try to self limit, mostly to keep some aspect/fun of “stalking” and set up. Although I wouldn’t say one stalks to 300yds.

I’m also a semi-minimalist. I have never liked high power optics and like fixed power scopes in general. Heck, my 308 T3X will have an Acro on it this year.

Plus, with two kiddos and a lot of other hobbies and obligations, range time is limited.

I like simplicity and spend the rest of the money on binos, clothes, and funding travels/adventures.

FWIW my longest elk shot was probably 630ish yards with a 300, but that was out of necessity (out of state) and a guide who was happy with the set up. I felt totally confident, just not my preference.
