I have to agree. I have either shot, or watched other shoot lots of different caliber guns, from .32 up to .75 caliber. If you are shooting dead on POA at 25 yds, expect to be a couple of inches high at 50 yds, dead on again at 75, and a few inches low at 100 yds. Depending on caliber, your PRB is going to be losing a lot of steam beyond 100 yds, coming down through the sound barrier, No matter how fast it leaves the muzzle. That low BC pervades RBs of all sizes. At 125 yds, you can be 8-12" low, and miss a deer unless you allow for that drop. And wind movement of the ball increases as the ball slows, so you are likely to see greater wind drift out at 125 yds. too.
It nice to push yourself in practice, by shooting iron sights at those far targets- it makes you learn to concentrate on that front sight, even at the closer yardages. But, its one thing to shoot at paper, or steel Bang plates out at the longer distances. Its an entirely different matter to take those kinds of shots at live game.
Most of the experienced hunters I know will impose a distance limit that is Half the maximum yardage they are capable of putting balls on paper from a bench rest, on a clear sunny day. The limitation makes allowances for bad weather, poor light bad angles on the game, little or a poor rest position, being out of breathe and having to shoot off-hand, or just having "buck fever" when you have never had it before! :shocked2: :rotf: :blah: :idunno: :nono: :surrender: :hmm: :thumbsup: :hatsoff: :hatsoff:
