[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 773082, member: 61747"] I agree. I was trying to stretch it out and see how it all performed at a range that tests the whole package...me included. It is all a learning event for me at the longer ranges and with higher wind. I am shooting in the areas I hunt as well. I know that the mountain terrain I am shooting in is the best training method. It pretty quickly lets you know that long range is a whole different level of shooting. Ami made the comment as she was spotting, this is not easy is it. I said, well, that and it is kind of humbling. DS I figure if the wind is more than 5 mph I need to try and stick with 1000 or less for now. I had a wolf at 700 earlier that morning and conditions were dead on, 5 mph wind from directly behind us, slight up hill, no ravines to cross, literally a range, twist, and squeeze deal. The dang thing decided to head after another group of elk and was well out of range by the time I got to a new spot to shoot. [/QUOTE]
