[QUOTE="FlGunner, post: 1495842, member: 94240"] I'm about to start my drive to Montana next week any in preparation for that I've been doing single cold bore shots at different ranges. My gun is very accurate.... It's me that I worry about. So what I have determined is that I will not shoot at an animal out of my comfort zone. That varies with conditions. I took a cold bore shot yesterday around noon at 743 yds and hit low (roughly 3").... It was about 92° when I took the shoot and mirage was heavy with the high humidity the Bullseye looked like it was bobbing up and down lol. My wind call was good but I think my inability to get the bullseye focused with the heat I was seeing affected my range. But at 650, I was dead nuts. So conditions changed my effective rang, but I could see it clearly. So conditions effected my effective range. I won't take a shot on an animal that I know I can't kill with a 100% certainty of knowing where my bullet will hit. (Bullseye is a 3" diameter at 743 and 2" at 650. ) [ATTACH=full]107997[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107998[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
