[QUOTE="Whitesheep, post: 748240, member: 26409"] Bummer about [U]having [/U]to buy a new gun Shootin4Fun:D. Enjoy. As for the fliers. With my setup I can blame an imperfect rest. As long as I call them, it's alright. As for shooting 400+ yards, I need a really stable rest at that range. I am not sure the proverbial backpack is the answer here. Pods or sticks are a better idea, but keeping 1 MOA even then would be hard for me. When preparing for an AK hunt several years ago, I practiced frequently out to 500 yards off of sticks sitting. I am confident I could have hit a sheep at 500 with that setup, but it would not have been in the heart as I would be aiming at center of mass at that range. As it was I took a Dall at 320 yards in the heart off those same sticks no problem. Regrettably, I don't have the time, will or $ to practice like I did for that hunt, so I keep it to 300 yards now. I did hit an Elk running at 250 yards a couple of seasons ago, but a Bull Elk is a big target. No, I didn't hit it in the heart, but it did go down and find its way to my freezer. Since that is my goal, 1 MOA was good enough. [/QUOTE]
