MER and Changing the long range game

[406precision]

That's why there is no substitute for time at the range. The more you shoot, the better you get, it's called practice. It's not just going out and verifying that your zero from last year is still good, it's shooting from different positions, different distances and different conditions. I try and treat my big game rifle skills like I do my competition skills, the more you shoot the better you get. I shoot between 750 and 1000 rounds a week in practice for my competitive shooting. I also take one of my big game rifles with me and try to shoot at least 100 rounds thru it too.

Amen that's it in a nutshell!!

Practice is one of the keys to unlocking your MER. Also I believe environmental factors also play into MER. If the wind is blowing too strong for a "long range" shot I would hope a person would be less inclined to attempt shooting at a distance. Conditions like wind, light, and snow will affect how someone shoots and if conditions are near perfect I don't see why a person should not take a shot at a distance they are comfortable with regardless of what distance that may be. Being comfortable with your equipment and surroundings is a must for knowing what your MER is and that should change as the weather becomes less perfect.
