[QUOTE="cronhelm, post: 51721, member: 98"] Dave, Don't feel bad, it took me 17 rounds to hit my target at 1.1 miles (1890 yds). I was happy just to be able to hit anything at that range. For me the humbling part was just how much elevation was required to get on target at that range. I had 76 MOA on the scope (all the way top the top) and was holding on the bottom of the MIL Dot reticle and that still wasn't enough. I had to hold "a tree high" to even get close. While I tell people that I hit that target I am more than willing to concede there was a major element of luck involved. Once I got my scope base shimmed, I tried again at 2000 yards with no luck. These sorts of distances are a hell of a long eay to throw a little blob of lead and copper. Lets face it, if it was easy would you being doing it? I wouldn't! Peter Cronhelm [/QUOTE]
