[QUOTE="shootinfool, post: 166810, member: 9140"] I too am sick of people that know nothing about the making long shots telling others how easy it is. I am no shooter like has been mentioned. In fact my longest shots on targets are only 1250 and to me that is a long ways out there. All the hype has some people that really have no buisness shooting long distance trying shots on game that they have not even attempted on targets because they hear that it is really easy to do. There is more to it than buying a gun and a scope with the target turrets and going out and clicking the scope up and being dead on. Like was mentioned there could be cross winds, are the winds full faced or only partial. Are you shooting at an angle up hill or down hill? What are the current weather conditions, humidity, baro readings, altitude, temp. Alot more than people realize goes into making a true long distance shot count the first time and not having to take 5-6 shots, wounding the animal, before you make the kill shot. [/QUOTE]
