[QUOTE="aspenbugle, post: 720085, member: 6481"] CO Brad - yeah that was funny with the eye - I guess he jabbed it out as he tumbled down and thrashed around a bit. Shoulda said I shot him there on purpose the second time - ha :) That would be good shootin! Oh yeh, I definitely measure incline as well. I was just playing with Shooter and changing up elevation and temp - only to see that it was only making about 1" difference at 600-700. At that point, I said what the heck, that's in the "noise" at that range and that size animal. Better to practice my hold and follow through, improve my rest or at least make sure it is like I practiced with and triple check my range, wind, incline etc. rather than fussing whether the temp rose 10 degrees. But now that I plan to shoot further, I agree I need to learn ALL the toys, practice them and next year I'll use them even at the shorter range, just for consistency and practice like Elk Hunter 338 said. Marmot practice this summer sounds like good practice... Rsess32 - sorry, not trying to get us too far off topic, and getting you lined up with a rifle. I think you've gotten some good advice...I guess let us know if you still have unanswered questions. [/QUOTE]
