[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 438499, member: 13632"] I kinda get laid out with the rifle adjust my scope for power and parallax and position. Then I sit and watch the wind and try to see what it is doing while getting ranges and punch eniro data into program. I then really watch the wind and listen to it while watching my Kestrel and get settled on a speed and condition I'm going to take the shot in and dial it into program, then I get on the gun and and dial the elevation and wind in and take dry fire shot, run a live one in and breath at a slow steady pace while waiting for the wind then when I have the wind at the bottom of the next breath I let it go, follow through and watch for the hit then cycle the bolt never breaking position then I turn my turrets back to zero. If I'm of I figure out what happened and if I know what happened I redo everything and take one more shot to confirm what happened, then I pack it all up and try again another day. Two shot max is what I take when working on cold bore shots if I miss and one if I hit, kinda incentive to learn the wind :D Take your time and learn the wind it's gonna kick you butt all over the place but once you start getting it nailed it is a good feeling, this is my first year consistently hitting cold bore at the range out to 1000+yrds, on game it has been a little shaky with getting a good range, wind has been dead on:D [/QUOTE]
