[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 24786, member: 34"] S1 I said 1000 yds and also 1250 and 1500 yds. I will say again though, reading the wind past 1000 yds takes many years to accomplish and you know that. It's something that is not taught in a few days, weeks or months at most locations. If Tax payer money is involved, the skies the limit and top instructors are available as teaching aids. Williamsport is one of those locations that people have many problems with and have for 35 yrs now. Please, if you can read the wind like you say, come and show us how it's done. I am serious when asking you. I would like to know myself. You mentioned our Grandsons discussing 3000 yd shots with a 1 shot system. I have a friend who did get his elk 5 yrs ago at 2890 Yds, but he and his group used the spotter system. That's closing the gap on the 3000 yd mark I would say. The caliber was the same as mine---the 338/416 Rigby IMP using the 300 gr MK. I honestly would like to see someone shot from a bipod and make a 3000 yd kill the FIRST shot every time. That person would no doubt be able to walk on water or part the Red Sea. First rule instilled in My Grandson was, DO NOT try 1 shot kills over 1000 yards period. Use the spotter system like my son was taught, also. I wouldn't let him shoot at woodchucks until they were at least 600 yds out. He found out early on that within the first 600 yds the shooting was to easy with the equipment we had set up. 600 plus was a bit tougher for him. Anyway, I think I'll keep my Grandsons and continue to teach them the spotter method as long as I can spot for them. If they mention ANYTHING about one shot kills over 1000 yds, I'll ship them to you.
