[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 343881, member: 9736"] Kirby had a great point about humility. Know what you are capable of and pass on opportunities you are not 100% sure of a clean kill. If you miss you should be surprised, not surprised when you hit. Anybody can hit a deer at 800 yards in a 20 mile an hour wind uphill on a computer! Don't get wrapped up in the talk. Know your weapon and your abilities. Work up a great load for your rifle and an accurate drop chart. Get a good range finder that is effective at the ranges you shoot. If you are shooting under 500 yards you probably don't need the swaro $1000.00 unit. Get a good $500.00 unit and spend the savings on quality optics or ammo. A wind gauge and use it a lot. Learn what trees in the area you hunt look like at 10mph so you can see wind effects from your rifle to your target. My brother and I shoot a lot of rocks in the summer at various ranges in the National forest. Spend lot's of time in the field shooting. [/QUOTE]
