[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1380916, member: 99718"] I Will just take an extra shot or two! Much cheaper and more gratifying! When I hunt long range I find Something that is about the same range in another direction and shoot at it first. My gun is bolted fast to a table that I designed, it don't move I can most often call my own shots. That being said, I have done it at 1300 yards shooting at a leaf; I saw the snow kick up, then the hole in the snow. All I had to do was click over about 6 inches and down about 8, all you do since the gun doesn't move is make sure your cross hair is exactly where it was before you shot and move the turret knobs until the cross hair is centered in the bullets crater hole then move onto your intended target. My second shot at 1300 yards resulted in a dead leaf! This is actually done just as fast if not faster then your method. It is a lot cheaper and more fun, you get to shoot more. In an actual hunting situation most of the long range hunters I learned from would just hold for the second shot being that close with the first. This lets you be more of a part of the whole experience, and not letting technology do everything but pull the trigger. I like this method, always have always will. There is a lot of expensive technology out there that's not needed as far as my methods are concerned. If you need it buy it! To each his own. Good luck hunting and be safe. [/QUOTE]
