[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1659716, member: 12443"] Well thats a pretty safe position to take, and certainly not one which many could disagree with. But the fact is that where distance is involved when shooting, the type of terrain can also make a world of difference regarding wind. When hunting in steep mountainous terrain, shooting across wide valleys with perhaps a large stream below, and onto a hillside having large deep hollows which can create their own conditions, there are no experts. There will always be BSrs, but no true experts. On top of that the hills are covered with large trees, mostly hardwood having large canopies of various size branches. The ground will be covered with the leaves that only recently fell, covering the ones from last year and the years before that. Provided of coarse there is no snow covering everything. So there will be no dust as has been mentioned, nor will there be any grass/weeds or small brush for the most part. Maybe a patch of mountain laurel here or there. Of coarse there are always the tree top branches to observe which might say one thing here and something else over there and down there. And speaking of branches, which never get mentioned in these type debates, what is the trajectory or "your" gun at say 900 yds? Any chance that could also be an issue? So as has been said, "in summation" we cant really address this subject as a one size fits all situations, or even all people as for opinions. Hunting by its very nature isn't always pretty, regardless as to which way you go about it and how good you've gotten at doing it. And if that creates a problem, then best stick with shooting at targets. [/QUOTE]
