You are right Ed.

I was a bit grumpy when I first saw the post.

If I remember right, it was shortly after I saw some 'hunting' videos on Youtube. Some guys where bragging about shooting deer at 1100 yards.
I did some calculations about it, and with their ammunition BC .644 leaving the muzzle at 3938 f/sec. If there was only 6.5 f/s sidewind, the impact would be 1.8 feet off target. And if they was 100feet off when estimating the range, they would be missing the target by 9". Even even if they got the perfect 'set up', there is the human factor and the fact that is was living target.
I'm no 'animals rights'-activist, but playing with such is not my cup of
