[QUOTE="Brent, post: 17418, member: 99"] [B]For those wanting to make a first shot hit at extreme range, you better know the wind patterns real good and this usually takes many years to "try" to figure out. Most never do figure it out.[/B] It done successfully all the time, it just takes practice, some more than others. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Look at the aggs of the top scores at 1000 yards and you'll see who capable of keeping 'em all on POA for 10 shots, and who isn't. They aren't all shot in perfect conditions either. [B]The elevation indicator won't help a bit if a person don't know the wind "first".[/B] Actually I think you'd figure the static incline effect "first", then the wind speed and effect "immediately" preceeding the shot. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Knowing the angle effect is just as important as knowing how small of groups you're capable of printing on POA at what ever range you shoot, by what ever methed you use too. If it ain't smaller than kill zone size from POA, it ain't practical and is nothing more than a wish. [/QUOTE]
