Marion Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 The same can be said of people seeing guys take 500 yard shots with rifles so what's your point ? Or 100 yard shots with a bow ? I can hit a plate size target every time at 70 yards with my smoothbore. It's more then I need why do you think many parks and parts of the country want you using only shotguns if they were so bad inhumane no park would let you use them obviously . Btw law inforcement use them to. So the thing about bad acuracy is overblown. You don't need sub 1 inch group to kill a deer besides every hunter needs to test the capabilities of their gun and skills before they use them in the field that should be obvious. Who hunts with out first testing out there gun for acuracy first . Just common sense . If you cant hit a target at 70 yards don't hunt at 70 yards that simple . Be it shotgun hand gun rifle or what ever you plan on using . You have to test out you equipment first. Hey! I made a perfect heart shot on my Antelope a couple weeks ago at 505 yards with my .300 Weatherby with custom loaded rounds by yours truly. I resent your downtalking of my excellent marksmanship with my Sub-MOA rifle out to over 500 yards with tons of juice still left in my roundSent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's was our patrol guide. Buckshot would be clearing a building for an active shooter or defensively at a barricaded suspect scene. Distances tend to be much closer. There are so many M4 carbines in use now and specialty teams available the use of patrol tactical weapons are really not at all common these days. Unfortunately I don't think that all of use practice our shooting enough or even as much as we can. For many reasons likely. Time is probably the biggest reason. Look I'm not trying to disrespect you at all for using what you choose to. I just don't get it when better tools of the trade are more available now. IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm hunting in a shotgun zone the main reason . But from practice and experience I know I don't need anything else for the ranges I know I'm going to be shooting at know more then 60 /70 yards . I just like my shotgun. When I hunt caskills I do sometimes bring out the rifles depends like to change things up sometimes. But even there most shots I take are close anyway . You got guys hunting with hand guns and AR's And other low calibers I see hunting with all the time Lol So its just personally preference and how dead you want your deer to be lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
