[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1728184, member: 10291"] For the long shots with no obvious reference points, I do a few things, many which have been mentioned in previous posts. -Make every effort to enable spotting the hit, and observing the animals reaction and direction if it runs at the shot. This includes minimal necessary scope magnification, muzzle break, good stock fit and enough rifle weight to minimize flip.. -Note the range of the shot. -After the shot, maintain sight acquisition on the last spot you saw the animal. -I carry a small compass that I will place in top of the turret, and take an azimuth sighting down the rifle barrel. -Mark my shooting location with red tape, or another visible marker. -Follow the azimuth while pacing off the yardage, finally using the rangefinder to confirm the distance. Properly done, it works well. I learned this the “hard way”. [/QUOTE]
