[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2975742, member: 124909"] I'm pretty new at shooting distances over 500. But I have had access to shoot out to 1200 for the last couple of years. I've studied the topic for the last 25 years but lack the hands on. I've enjoyed reading all of your posts. I cannot shoot prone anymore due to an accident years ago. Or sit flat on the ground for that matter. It's a whole lot easier for me to get on target with my 65-06 than my 308 but I learn a lot more when using the 308. I shoot in a field that has some eddys, corners, hedgerows plus we get afternoon lake and sea breezes. The terrain is flat however and we are only 30 feet above sea level. I use a wind meter occasionally, mirage, flagging tape at times, trees, grass and I reckon you'd call it pure S.W.A.G. on occasion. I got decent at reading wind speed when we were helicopter spraying years ago. It's all fun for me and I learn something every time I go out. Which makes it a perfect hobby for me. It pays off in my hunting as well. [/QUOTE]
