Thank you gentlemen very much for all your help. let me know if i can return the favor in any way. I bowhunt, so if you have questions, please ask regarding bowhuting. however, so does glowball and many others on this page with far greater knowledge than me. I think I will go wit the .270, not sure yet which maker. And yes, good point, I would never attempt long distance shots that i have not practiced over and over and over again with absolute confidence i could make them. But, that is my eventual goal; to be that practiced that i may be able to make such long distance shots in the future with much practice and experience. Right now, being a bowhunter, 100 yards sounds "LONG" to me. Thanks again. BMF
