[QUOTE="Guest, post: 85294"] I guess that is my pont you can't rely on all the gadgets and bells and whistles... you have to shoot! Shoot alot! in all conditions and everywhere you can. I darn near got asked to leave this board for arguing a point about BDC knobs and I still hold fim to my statements about them . I feel in this sport you cannot rely on such a "non adjustable" item. I live mearly a few hundred feet difference in altitude but even my dope was off by a bit. I feel the weather changes etc. all play a vital role in why I was off by .5" This sport is controversial enough with any mistakes. Once we make a mistake it only fuels the fire. Nothing beats practicing every moment you can with your choice of weapon, learning everything you can about it. Once you do set limits and standards. I passed on a 800 yard shot that I know I can make day in and day out. However, the wind would not make up its mind wether to blow hard or soft. The conditions changed every 5-20 seconds. Chris and Steve knew I could make the shot but respected my "self control" and limits of my ability during those conditions. I called it off and we moved on to another day. I spend hours and hours ( more like days and months ) shooting every year. I learn stuff every time I go out. I was really supprised to see the minor differences in the dope once we arrived at the area we were hunting. We all need to remember that minor differences at 100 lead to big differences beyond that... [/QUOTE]
