[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 496302, member: 12443"] the cliche about old dogs and new tricks is probably true. im 76 years old. ive been being told all my life there are smarter people with better ways. certainly that is true in many situations. medical science is but one area where that is evident. computers are another area. we could go on and on about other things positivly affecting our lives. many things however turn out to be more beneficial for the seller than the user. some of the products were told are important/necessary to have for long range hunting/shooting fit that mold. its not that they dont work, as much as they arent necessary. long range 1000 yd benchrest target shooting has its roots in a place named bodines near williamsport pa. many world records have been set there including the current 10 shot record. some of the shooters there are among the best in the world. if you visit there as a spectator as i have you will see wind flags. i doubt you will see an individual using a wind meter/weather station. many shooters will wait till the last seconds before firing their last sighter. when the sighter target comes down and the record target goes up things happen very quickly. you will see most shooters machine gun all 10 shots as fast as they can get them off. that technique hasent changed in the 40 + years ive been visiting there. if david tubbs were to shoot there he would undoubtedly do likewise. fact is there are no experts when it comes to dealing with wind. especially in a hunting situation where wide deep valleys could be encountered. put a river or large stream in the equasion and it could compound the problems. as for cosine or uphill/downhill, weve been dealing with that successfully for decades. it is a very important item but dosent require a costly peice of equiptment. the keys to success in long range shooting/hunting is a good rifle, a good shooter, and a good spotter with very good tripod mounted glasses. become proficient with your rifle and listening to your spotter. practice getting from where it hit to where its supposed to hit with the next shot in the event of a miss. its amazing to me how much emphasis is placed on gadgets, and how little on spotters. all those lures in the tackle shop wont make you a better fisherman. but that dosent stop guys like bill dance from trying to sell you some. all the shooting gadgets were being exposed to wont make any difference either. learn to shoot and you wont need them.
