Long range target shooting is for the fun of it. The fun being reading the conditions on the day to hit a paper or inert reactive target. It doesn't matter if its missed.
Hunting on the other hand demands far higher standards. Long range is 40m, and most restrict themselves to 30 and under. I haven't taken a shot hunting further than 27m for a very long time. The target size is very small, and all the variants come into play. Near is not good enough.

Long range target shooting teaches a lot of what your rifle combination can do, and what you need to do to read the conditions. Loads to work out. I suggest start at 50m in various conditions and see how varied and the need for shooter input is required. What makes shooting with an accurate rifle interesting.
