so do tell us of your experience in long range shooting and your set ups and what made you go back to 500 or less simple? just like to buck the trend eh? lol, old school

Well if limiting your shots on game animals to 500 yards or so is old school,I guess that I am old school as well.Just as Chuck has,I have taken a fair number of big game animals at distances out to 500 yards or so,but I have resisted the temptation to take longer shots on game animals.I practice to 550 yards,at the local range, so that is the limit that I set for myself for shots on big game animals.I may shoot some targets at longer distances next spring, but I am hesitant to shoot farther at big game animals,because the consequences of misjudging windage on a game animal are far more serious than missing a paper or steel target.I have passed up shots in the 600 yard range, in the past, and I will continue to do so, because I just don't want to increase the risk of a wounded animal because I misjudged the wind.

Your welcome to do that. It still doesn't make me wrong.

It doesn't make either of us wrong,or right for that matter.
