[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2918955, member: 68542"] A fella I know is a weird combination of over informed and under practiced. He's spent hours researching exactly what setup he wanted, and ended up with an extremely nice Sako topped with a vortex shooting ultra primo ammo. Then he bought a labradar so he could track exactly what his bullet was doing over 100 yards. And then... he never stretched out and practiced anything farther than 100. In elk camp he can talk for hours about what the bullet is supposed to do at range and what his holdovers are and his turret adjustments, but it's all based on the 100 yard range. I haven't sat him down for the conversation yet of "100 doesn't magnify to 500 just because you have DOPE" but I think that'll happen at camp this year. [/QUOTE]
