[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 773061, member: 61747"] I was thinking the same thing. I am sure I read the wind wrong too but I was hoping to be at least within a kill zone. With that I was too far left and low to be a kill on an elk or deer. I didn't tape measure it but I was about 18" low and 30" left. Perhaps if my scope was dead on perfect it would have been something in the area of 18" left and 7" low. When I got up to the spot I noticed the wind was not blowing left to right in that area but rather up the draw toward the rock and then swirling around at the rock. DUH right? The wind tends to follow the terrain direction right? I think for about 1/2 the flight time it was blowing it right, then pretty much a lazy right to tail wind. I think I could have cut the MOA in half and been good. I did send NF an email to discuss the issue. This is twice now the scope has not been dead on from the previous set up. From what I can tell this rifle is shooting about .35 MOA when I do a decent job of holding it right. I hope the scope is not damaged as I have 3 weeks left of wolf season. [/QUOTE]
