[QUOTE="RockMcL, post: 5519146, member: 23050"] I understand your point but plenty a long shot involves luck. Misjudging distance or being off on drop/wind dope happens and sometimes the errors offset. Wind can be improperly accounted for or change at let off and the deer step to your advantage. Lots of opportunity for good and bad to happen. Deer close and far have been hit different than planned and still ended up in a freezer... Wait for the shot always applies and I agree that most folks good at long shots have a highly developed skill set/knowledge. But when an unexpected deer steps out and gives one hunter an opportunity at 15 yards or another long range hunter an opportunity at 425 yards it can just be random luck. If a hunter is working for a close shot or working for a long shot, it does require different skill sets but both skill sets are developed intentionally and my hat is off to anyone who has developed either or both skill sets. I personally get more satisfaction out of one distance as compared to another but that has evolved over time to what I find more challenging and therefore more rewarding. [/QUOTE]
