[QUOTE="Brydawg512, post: 1514461, member: 107792"] Hello, I am very new to LR hunting/shooting. I am waiting for my scope to arrive and be mounted and then to the range I go! I understand that I can use a ballistics calculator to get me started and then I am able to true my values with my specific date. A few questions remain however... How much should I worry about other variables (especially wind but also temperature, etc)? I will only be shooting out to 600-650 yards maximum on animals at this point once I achieve proficiency, maybe a bit further on targets. So, once I true my drop values for my gun on "x" day with the temperature I am shooting in, how do i adjust this for each hunting season I do (bear in August, deer in october, etc.) where temperatures drastically change? Also, how do I account for wind? By this i mean how do I accurately determine wind direction, it's speed, and where I need to adjust? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
