[QUOTE="winmag, post: 353253, member: 22166"] I agree with most all the above ststements, lots of good advise. But I do have a question....40 to50 degrees of angle.Thats hard to practice unless you have a place to(as stated earlier in another good comment) shoot rocks at various ranges and angles. Were you using a rangefinder to tell you the yardage or pacing it off? The reason I ask is that most modern range finders have a built in compensator, ie; line of sight vs aim point yardage. Combine a mistaken yardage(reading the l.o.s. vs aim point) with a rifle sighted 3" high at 100 yds on a 40 to 50 degree angle at 270 yds, and shooting right over the top would be easy to do on accident. Take your rangefinder w/you to shoot rocks so you can dope your rifle and what your rangefinder tells you all at the same time. Your confidence will SOAR when you get the two on the same page you are on. YOULL GET IT BACK SOON with some shootin time to bring you to your ''zen'' place. Weve all been there. GOOD LUCK [/QUOTE]
