[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2242942, member: 3230"] 1. Most hunting out west you are not sitting waiting for something to appear unless you are dove hunting. 2. As for the wind, it is what it is. When it is blowing harder, I get closer. I track every shot I shoot at long range but divide them into three buckets: mild or no wind, moderate, and strong. I don't hardly even shoot anymore at less than 1000 if the wind is calm. My hit rate out to 1000 is pretty **** good in mild to moderate winds. Strong winds? Falls apart; barely over 60% trying to hit a 10" square target at LR. In a hunting situation, I know I have to get closer. It has been a long time since I missed at 500 no matter what the wind is doing. As for the guy in the video, I agree: outside of wind, almost everything else in LR is noise. If you have to "true" your MV, you are not shooting enough - there shouldn't be any surprises in terms of vertical impact. [/QUOTE]
