Not sure if I'm in the right area. But a friend of mine and I have been having a debate.
I'm really into long range shooting and do well at it. He on the other hand shoots gernally less than a 100 yards.
The debate is the usefulness of long range marksmanship. He seems the think that in a firefight type incident that shooting past 200 yards is unneeded and a waste of time and money etc and the that an engagement at anything pass 100 to 200 yards is unlikely.
I on the other hand read a lot of German sniper memoirs and read about a lot of shots being made well past 200+. I try to stress to him that sure 800-1000 is more unlikely but 200-700ish isn't that far in the grand scheme of things but is very far when being shot at.
But this is the guy that only needs a red dot. So am I wasting my breath or am I looking to far into this subject?
Thanks
