[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1517233, member: 30902"] If you just had an accurate range and a range card you'd worked out ahead of time your odds of a first shot kill would have gone up by around 80%. There are no shortcuts to becoming proficient at long range but there are a vast array of tools available today we didn't have just 20 years ago that can be a huge help. Learning to read and compensate for wind will be your biggest challenge and even with the best tech you can buy that takes a lot of practice. Even if you have a good weather meter with you, it can only give you conditions where you are standing and the wind can change both direction and speed several times during the flight of the bullet.
