Videos I’ve seen they will go 12k-13k ft before loosing connection and returning to home. I see the restrictions as buying a Ferrari and the factory limiting it to 80mph. I want the training wheels off.
Yet, isn't that illegal (and irresponsible) - unless you can find a building 12.000 ft tall.
Wouldn't both examples be illegal (the Ferrari and the Mavic)? Or more technically, having the capability to exceed the limits isn't illegal, but actually exceeding those limits would be under most circumstances.

Re: Drones

It should be legal, IMHO, as long as your rounds do not travel past your property line (including missed shots). But I'll rely on the advice of others here that it is apparently illegal.

On another note, and at the risk of thread drift, I've been interested in getting into drones since the technology seems to have improved quite a bit. Can anyone point me to a good resource to learn more about beginner drones?
