[QUOTE="EricL, post: 1157623, member: 90293"] Well that's kind of a lot of question and I not sure I can do it justice but here is what I do. I try not to have to hold more than 1 MOA wind (give or take a little). My reason for this is that the gestimation can get to be too much and the room for mistakes gets to be too small if I get over that. Also if I was taking a long shot at game and I wasn't dialed quite close for wind and I only had a second or two to make the shot I think I would just wait for another chance. For me holding wind is for following up a miss or a bad hit and I try to dial for the first shot and get it as close as I can. Its just that too little makes too big a difference at that range for me to try to hold any more than just a little wind. All that being said keep in mind that I am not the best long range marksman in the world by a long shot so if you are good enough to hold right on the money every time then you shouldn't hold yourself to my rules. I ges the moral of the story is get what you want and every person has to find out what works best for THEM. There again I do not have a FFP scope but if I were to get another one I would sure try to find one I like because it sure would be nice to have the option just in case. On reading the wind the very best way I have come up with to learn how is go shooting.... lots. So I ges that just means when you get your new gun just go out and start having fun!:) [/QUOTE]
