[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2799795, member: 87243"] I may be misreading this, and I apologize if I am, but this seem like somewhat of an unnecessary, snarky comment, not contributing anything useful to the purpose of this thread..... Anyway.... In low to no wind conditions with time to read the wind, such as a hunting scenario when I would take a shot that far, at least 90%. It is however completely based on what the wind is doing. The more wind, the lower the percentage, and also the shorter the range I would feel confident making a first round impact on a 1 MOA target. More goes into this question than just as the title says, however. I have called shots in high winds, one specific one was a mule deer at around 860 yards, I doped my rifle for the shot, in 12-14 mph winds, and my sister made a first round heart shot. However, this was also in an open, flat area, and I took about 10 minutes studying the wind, and it was very consistent. The same distance, same wind speed, but up a canyon with a couple draws, I wouldn't have felt confident having her take that shot. Wind speed, geography, rifle ballistics, rifle accuracy, how solid of a shooting platform you have in the field, among other things all play into how confident I am on hitting a 1 MOA target at 1000.
