Farthest hunting shot was 188 yds. Heard noise behind me turned and took a snap shot. The deer took 2 steps turned around, took another step and fell over. Lazed the gut pile at 188. I used a 6.5-06 on a Mauser 98 action.
I don't practice offhand shooting so I usually don't shoot that way while hunting. Had I tried to hold the gun steady I'm sure I would have wobbled all over.
