[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1870214, member: 91783"] When I started long range shooting there weren't any sites or others in my area that did it . You couldn't find a first focal plane scope and if you ask at a sporting goods store or gun shop they looked at you like you had just escaped from the mental ward . So I read and studied what I could find and did the best that I could with what I had to work with . During the Vietnam era we didn't even have a lot of gas filled scopes available to us , I started out with Weaver and Redfield steel tube scopes , as did a lot of others on this site , we learned to stalk our game and get as close as we could to it . Some of us were limited to using slug guns for deer hunting as well . My first scopes were fix power didn't have adjustments for anything on them weighed a lot and fogged up . The long range shooting sport has really came of age since the war on terror has been going on . As with other things it seems that we progress during a time of war as the military has a need for this kind of equipment and it gets more attention and study . We have more people being trained in the art of the Snipper in all branches of the service and they bring that home with them and get more people interested in the long range shooting . The sport of long range shooting has come a long way since the 60's there are a lot more people out there that have learned and studied it and are willing to share their knowledge now more then at any other time in the history of shooting . I'll step down from my soap box now . [/QUOTE]
