[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2874517, member: 12443"] Well how far was the buck that responded to your yelling hey? And assuming it was at a considerable distance, would he also have responded to a well placed shot at say a nearby stump? And while were on this subject, would a shot have offered more information than simply shouting (hey)? lol Ive been to quite a few of the 1000 yard matches over the years, mostly as a spectator, but a few times as a shooter also. The drill is that there is a timed sighter session prior to the record target being raised, and the match officially starting. The regular competitors will have left the elevation adjustments on their scopes from the last match. When their sighter target comes up they will fire a few shots to confirm their zero. then they relax untill seconds before the sighter session is over before sending another sighter shot. This is to simply check that the wind conditions havent changed. Mind you, i said, they ( confirm ) zero, by firing a shot. And they reconfirm zero by firing another shot. Not by referring to some type of a device, or a chart, or by using somebodys lame opinion on how they confirm their zero. Especially where wind is involved. [/QUOTE]
