[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1037918, member: 10291"] The three most critical factors that effected my consistent hits when moving from 500 to +1000 were: 1) learning to read the wind. I always have a wind meter on me and observe/study the wind wherever I am. I do lots os 100 yard practice eith my 22LR 2) training my eye to focus on the crosshair only, before, during ,and after the shot; not the two dimensional plane of the crosshair against the target, or worse, the target only. This is easier said then done, particularly on an animal at long range when excited and you want to see the animal fall. 3) completely ingrained shooting form(hold, cheek weld,, bipod load, trigger, etc) in the various shooting positions. This should be practiced to the point where it is automatic. [/QUOTE]
