    If you mean a mediocre practiced professional sniper with years of training, than sure. If you mean some rando hunter who goes out twice a year nah. if you mean some random lemmy user with range experience and no outdoor shooting experience then no fucking way other than pure luck.

      There are some great hunting classes available at bass proshops. I’d imagine that other places hold them as well. Hunting is a great sport and as a beginner who could blame you for going overboard on your rifle and scope purchase.

      Hunting is a great way to socialize as well shooting is great hobby. However shooting at stationary a fixed distance away isn’t the same as hitting a moving target at a not exactly known distance. Lining up the shot, gauging distance and estimating movement all make it that much more challenging and exciting when you actually connect. Seeing the target scatter away on a miss, or even a hit. Will slowly make what seems like luck into a skill.

      Small game at long distances shows just how good of a shot you are.
