[QUOTE="Broz, post: 773069, member: 7503"] Keep shooting, going to the target, and trying to figure where you were off. That will teach you better than any internet discussion. Also keep notes and shoot where you hunt. Would you agree that the next time you shot from that location you would feel more confident in your first round? I would. Also realize a shot past 1000 on game in any wind is tough, and gets tougher with every yard. I have 1000's of rounds down range past 1000 yards, but my actual game kills past 1000 is around a dozen. It takes very good field conditions for me engage an animal past 1000. I have been very fortunate that every one have been one shot kills. But I shoot enough to know my abilities and when to abort the shot. The good thing about practicing at 1500 is it greatly increases the percentage of the 1000 yards shots you have offered to you.
