[QUOTE="EZShooter, post: 166955, member: 5305"] Really, I am with Dave here on both accounts... haven't all of us long range hunters learned wind doping by shooting a bow to 300 yards... shoot, I learned most of my real skills by shooting my 17 Humongous Magnum Rifle to 1k... really tricky with those 26 gr. bullets at 5K FPS, sure makes those really hairy shots to 4k with my 257 Roberts a no brainer.... then I wake up with a grin on my face, tongue sticking out of my cheek, till I realize I have to go to work instead of shooting. Looks like this guy was still asleep at the typewriter (ahem...). I have read a lot of the older VHA mags, and really appreciated their articles, don't they have an editor? I realize that questioning an 'Authority' is hard to do, but sheesh... this is a BIG problem, I don't know about you guy's, but I have had acquaintances that make the claim of 'I shot her at 800 yards, just held my trusty Leupold scoped 270 a smidge over her back and Whammo...' this is a big problem for me, as calling BS on someone you just met has a rather detrimental effect to the rest of your relationship (sorry, sometimes you are just destined to not get along with your father in law... oops, there is that tongue sticking to my cheek again). What is it in human nature that makes some of us into absolute morons? I just don't get it... someone must have skipped the Brains line when Our Father was handing those out. EZ Shooter [/QUOTE]
