[QUOTE="ewallace, post: 3586, member: 525"] I have been shooting at some crows from 700 to 1200 yards with out connecting, missing the wind by inches 3 crows have been lucky in the last 2 weeks [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] I went out to look for long range crows today and there were some in the field so I drove to the South end of my favorite field and set up the portable bench and ranged one, the Wild said 650 meters. I looked at the drop chart it called for 11.75 MOA. The wind was from 9:30 at 9 MPH where I was and I looked at the mirage and corn leaves out by the Crow the wind was coming from 10:30 and I thought the velocity was the same out there so I dialed in 1.5 MOA in and 13 MOA for elevation.
