[QUOTE="Reemty J, post: 2059575, member: 113694"] And without HIM we wouldn't exist...……………...the CREATOR. Straight shooter, you just contradicted yourself....not being rude, but yes it matters at all ranges, but the farther away the more it compounds, the earlier example of the wind drift at 300 yards is a stark example of drift between the 3 cartridges we were comparing. Is it manageable, heck yes! But a person has to know exactly what it is....last Saturday, I should have had 5 coyotes easy, but I did not know Exactly what my drift was, I was missing 200-350 yard shots..I even went and shot my gun in the field to see if it was off, it wasn't. After I printed the drop/drift notes and took clear tape to "home school" laminate them...and when I leave my pickup I look at wind speed on my phone and I am set....other than "operator" error. Calling wise it is not the issue as much as spot and stalk in windy conditions.....which is ideal time to do it in, as two of the coyotes 3 senses are neutralized, hearing and smell...mainly you are dealing with sight, when their head is up... let me tell you one example of the frustration I had last Saturday......Was walking back out, down the canal, after missing a shot..and 263 yards away I spotted a coyote curled up that I had not seen walking in, he was in the stubble below me so the wind/scent never hit him..I laid there prone, waiting for the coyote to stand for 30 minutes as I wanted a broadside shot as my confidence in my shooting was suspect....well after that long the coyote finally stood but wouldn't turn broadside just sat there facing away.....so I thought I am going to kill it...….bang....miss. 30 minutes invested and I dropped the ball.....o_O [/QUOTE]
