Farthest shot on a deer ever was 337 steps at a doe. It was a clean kill, but in retrospect I shouldn't have taken the shot - it was just a bit too far. Out of the last 10 deer I have shot, all but 1 were shot under 100 yards.

The above info, plus the freaking noise from a BOSS, is why I do not feel the BOSS is necessary on your average hunting rifle.

The guns come with two boss's, one for recoil reduction and that one makes it appear louder, and one without the ports that is no different in sound of a regular rifle. My longest shot to date was 450 yards, and it hit exactly where I wanted. The 7 point fell in its tracks. 500 yards is all I feel comfortable with using a .30-06.
