[QUOTE="Broz, post: 665164, member: 7503"] Yobuck, I am fully aware of changing conditions and variables adding up. If you re-read my previous posts on this thread I think you will find where I mentioned "Stable conditions". In the last year I can count on one hand the number of weeks that went by without me take a few shots past 1500 yards. A follow up is usually included in that exercise. Many people that shoot with me will remark at how quickly I will get back on target and send shot 2 or 3. I have honed this skill, just incase I need it. Things differ for each shooter too.
