[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 660143, member: 30902"] Not bad at all. Trying to stretch beyond your limits is always challenging. The parallax error is enough to account for a good bit of the opening up of your group. Not having the power turned up all the way to 20 may not have hurt at all, and may have helped depending on the conditions. Mirage can be a real PITA when you turn it up over 10x some days, again depending on the conditions. Sometimes not maxing out your power can also be a benefit in that you just center up on your target and relax when you can't see all of the fine detail. Think about trying to keep your cross hairs on a fly at 100yds vs just trying to keep them centered on a base ball at the same range. In fighting to keep them centered on the fly it's easy to get to pushing the shot vs just relaxing and trying to keep centered on the baseball while you squeeze off a round. Sometimes in fighting for that extra bit of precision you can end up working against yourself. [/QUOTE]
