[QUOTE="grit, post: 631894, member: 4112"] I practice where I hunt, or in similar country. I shoot in all kinds of conditions, from mid range to extreme range. Establish a load and validate your trajectory on the range, then get off it. Real shooting in real hunting conditions is invaluable. I regularly shoot to and beyond a mile. I regularly shoot in rough winds, in the rain, at steep angles, from challenging set ups..... I compete. Competition simulates the pressure of a hunt. When I get a solid shot opportunity at 1000 yards, I don't wonder about anything. I know what I can do. Shoot that rifle! Take notes and learn. Map velocity changes with temperature. Pay attention to every miss. Evaluate and learn, don't just pull the trigger and shrug. Always check zero if you travel to hunt. Poppin' a rock now and then keeps the confidence high. Dry firing on a set up helps calm the nerves and check your set up for stability. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
