[QUOTE="Marine sniper, post: 82093, member: 4768"] When I taught marksmanship and ballistics at 1st. Marine Division Scout Sniper school, one of my main concerns was the students ability to predict where a bullet would impact on the first shot. Obviously a sniper does not want to have to shoot spotters in order to effectively engage a target. I was wondering what are some of the formulas the hunters here use to help them predict the cold bore shot at an unknown distance, at elevation, in the wind, at an angle, etc. What if you are at 1000 feet more elevation than what you sighted your gun in at? and you are shooting up hill at 12 degrees? there is a 5 mph wind from 10 to 4, etc. You laz the target at 945, you have dope for 900 and 1000, but that was on level ground at 1000 feet les elevation, etc.???? What do you do. Or do most of the hunters here make an educated guess and hope his spotters sees where he hits? I will jump in with some of my experiences if the thread takes off. John [/QUOTE]
