I wonder how accurate the average Joe's range finder is????
One that can be carried without a back-pack, and that the same average Joe can afford. Plus or minus at say,,,,,,,702 yards?????
The balistic chart's I've seen indicate that after 500 or so, gravity starts winning the battle in a hurry. Depending on the caliber of course, a twenty yard error can add up to a pretty substantial bullet drop. Certainly more than a pop bottle turned horisontally. That's only about 4"!!!!
My guess is that the range finder's accuracy (or lack there of) will add at least that much to the equasion.
Now factor in the wind, wobbly shooting sticks, and a number of other things that come in to play when shooting in the field, and these Hail Mary shots make less and less sence to me. And if you Sharp Shooters out there will be honest with yourselves,,,,99.9% of the time a "Hail Mary" is exactly what it is.
If ya shoot at them and miss, ya just educate em anyway.
