[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 24214, member: 25"] S1 With all due respect, I believe that you and Darryl type folk shoot at a level that many hunters do not realize exists. The factors that you have such strong understanding of are rocket-science to most hunters. This is not a flame, I am just mentioning that many shooters cannot or will not believe that such accuracy is not ******** luck. The math and science that you employ is the basis of much of this accuracy, along with your skills and top-end equipment. I like to describe our really long shooting (1000 - 1500+) as HURLING (not to be confused with the popular Canadian passtime that occurs when too many beers are consumed in too short a timeframe). We call our "really long" shooting rock-*ucking, since we get so much enjoyment out of the rather rare times that we get hits past 1500. No doubt the reason that we commonly have first shot misses (on rocks the size of Chevy vans) that are measured in football fields is because we do not have a clue about the science involved. That is compared to your tossing dirt on 1000 yard crows or Darryl's kills on the next moutain over. As I mentioned, no doubt your knowledge and confidence in handling these many factors is probably as important as your skill and equipment. Anyhow, I and probably many other guys really enjoy the info that you are sharing, and the opportunity to "listen-in" on some very interesting stuff. That is one of the pure joys of this site. Yaw of repose is right up there with how in hell a bullet's BC can change during flight. Beats the hell out of me... [/QUOTE]
