[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1455635, member: 12443"] Exactly, for sure there will be similarities. And yes it can get boring hitting things that are well within the capability of both gun and shooter. But whats wrong with that? As for ideal conditions not teaching anything, I don't agree. First off it builds the confidence necessary in knowing you can do it. Poor conditions wont teach anything other than you wasted your time. So again, im hoping for great conditions on the day the OP shoots. As for reading the wind over open maybe even mountainous terrain at those distances? Are you kidding me? Whats the mid range trajectory of that cartridge at that distance, and whats your little hand held device tell you about conditions up there? Experts have been handing out advice and writing books for eons and yet new experts and expensive devices are still showing up. Why is that? Go to a 1000yd benchrest match and use a stop watch to time the amount of time it takes them to get 10 shots off when their target comes up, at least the best most experienced ones. Why is that also? AND, they also have wind flags. No wonder those guys shoot so well, they cheat. lol Go shoot and hold for the wind, when you have to hold more than about 5 ft, quit and go home or go someplace closer. Unless of coarse you have a mil mil ffp scope. lol [/QUOTE]
