[QUOTE="livetohunt, post: 1481041, member: 100535"] Welcome to the forum! As I get more and more into long range, I realize that there are people that can practice and practice and get decent at shooting sports, and then there are some that have that “natural ability”. A friend of mine is one of those naturals. In a single trip I witnessed him shoot my 6.5 creed out to 400 yards guessing drops, pinholing fist sized rocks offhand. Then he shot my .300 at 1400 yards better than I can shoot it. It was his first time shooting a rifle in 6 months and he doesn’t even shoot long range. Same trip I witnessed him use his compound bow that he had bought a week before to center punch a duck sized “rock” with a field tip at a 45 degree angle off a cliff across a river, at 90 yards. In wind. First shot. Me, not being one of “those people with the inherent gift” have to practice. A lot. When I’m not practicing I’m thinking about technique or browsing forums! Good luck with your long range journey! [/QUOTE]
