As a gun writer I’m blessed with lots of opportunities to hunt and shoot fantastic rifles on once in a lifetime hunts. This past week I hiked to within 650 yards of a 6×6 bull elk which was both cross canyon and very much up a 35 degree mountain in Idaho. I knew the dope. I knew my gun. More importantly I knew not to shoot because I also knew I wasn’t properly anchored or properly equipped to make a clean, ethical, one-shot kill on that magnificent animal. So I walked away. No regrets. FTW did much more than teach me how to shoot long range. It taught me how not to. Thank you for teaching me how much goes into such a long and challenging shot so that when my opportunity came I made a mature and ethical choice not to shoot. Jay Pinsky, Gun Writer
