[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 700996, member: 1940"] I've been using that G7 rangefinder this year. With careful fine tuning I have found no need to develop a chart for shots over 1000 yards. Mine was giving me dead accurate ballistic solutions out to 1380 yards last weekend. What I failed to add was the extra click in windage for spin drift at that range. I have my LR scopes zeroed .5 MOA left and that compensates nicely for spin drift out to 1K. That shifty 5 mph wind at 1300 is real challenging, especially if it switches directions as well. I shoot marmots a lot in above-timberline basins. The winds are usually pretty shifty when they pick up. Last weekend they were not only gusting 0-5, but shifting frequently in direction. I am still learning to read the wind, so I was hitting a half MOA on one side, then again to the other side. Very frustrating. I squeezed one off during a momentary lull and hit the edge of a tennis ball sized target. It was a good one to quit on, so I packed up and went home. [/QUOTE]
