I've been working on my marksmenship since I was very small, around five years old. I started off shooting squirrels from 150 yds. Right now, I'm accurate to about 300yds with my .30-06. I need a better scope since it's only 9x. If I had a closed sight, I can be much more accurated, if I'm steady enough, I can get over 500yds. But I always have to calculate for wind and ballistics, so I'm usually off my mark. I still dont know why my dad trained me as a kid, or why I continued when I could have said I'd like to do other things.
