[QUOTE="druid, post: 680000, member: 51835"] Sorry I assumed you would use a scope at any distance. However the mirage at the target really doesnt apply much. its the conditions between the target and the shooter, and if your shooting prone the conditions up close to the shooter dont matter much either because the wind doesnd blow as hard at ground level as it does at higher elevations so usally its the mid range where the bullet is at its highest elevation that you want to check the mirage. you also need to know the wind direction to know if its 100% cross or some divison of that. PS just because I dont have a place in Il. to shoot at 1000 + yards does not mean I have no 1000 yard experience I use to shoot at range-22 at fort Lewis in washington state I do have some experience. Shooting is what I live for its fun and interesting. Lets keep fun O.K. [/QUOTE]
