[QUOTE="Karl in Phoenix, post: 30677, member: 1973"] Oh, yes, I almost forgot to mention: accurate range and wind estimation. If you intend to do any long range hunting, even with a 50 BMG, you must, must, accurately identify the range of the target or you will miss (not too bad to do) or misplace your shot in an animal (not acceptable to do). Wind estimation at a distance is also a crucial skill to master when firing bullets in long arcs and mucho "hang time". Know your time of flight and the effects of the atmosphere upon the missile of choice. Again, Cheers, [/QUOTE]
