[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1157890, member: 74902"] I don't take quick LR shots on animals just because they happen to step out into an open area for a couple seconds so the FFP is kinda useless for me. If they happen to step into the woods first... well that's just hunting. But I notice that the wind often sort or breaths and has a rhythm. I use my wind meter to gauge the wind and watch some noticeable vegetation at least halfway to the shot. If there is a regular lull, or slow moment, I often dial windage on that. Then watch the vegetation for that lull again and take the shot at that time. If I am off a bit and could spot the shot, I visually correct with holdoff for the second shot. Which kinda brings up a second point. I don't dial the scope way up when shooting. For a 600~800 yard shot, I will often have the scope set to 8 or 12 powder. This way I have a wide field of view to to spot the shot and get back on the animal quickly. On a 24x power 1 MOA SFP reticle 24x = 1 MOA, 12x = 2 MOA, 8x = 3 MOA, 6x = 4 MOA. I can also still see the MOA hash marks at 6x. Not usually possible with a FFP scope. [/QUOTE]
