[QUOTE="Another Double, post: 859207, member: 71155"] Thanks. I am a technical engineer by day and love anything technical or scientific. I spent many hours researching the components and how to use them. Once they were all dialed in it was sure easy when it came down to pulling the trigger. I have to say it was 99% gun and technology once the cross hairs were on the target. This setup made it so easy! Things that I learned: Types of optics, reticals, and target turrets Ballistic Coefficients of bullets Drop Charts How temp and pressure affect trajectory and bullet speed How to bore sight How to use target turrets Mounting a scope (Dad always did it) An 11lbs gun is not really that heavy (6"2" 215 lbs.) Learned I need a range finder that goes beyond 550y Things I knew: The area since I have hunted there for years How to stalk animals Basics of holding a rifle steady using a rest, breath control, and a smooth trigger pull Thanks to some of the posts on this forum I was able to lurk and learn! I am now working on getting a new scope for my 30-06 and may consider a rifle pig hunt here in California. I will not be putting down my bow any time soon but LRH is exciting and I love the technical aspects of getting everything dial in and practicing. Very similar to challenges faced by archers.
