[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 1892184, member: 33622"] I have a story on that, one day 7 of us were on the firing line, friendly get together. We had steel to 1330. All the targets after 300 on the half mark(350 etc..) were head bangers, 6x9" head, 12x16" body, the goal was the head. Left wind, nothing serious, finally someone missed and asked for a wind call, the first response was something like 2 moa right, others either in moa or mils was say 1 moa left. At 950, the right wind guy hit the head, like he had all previous targets, I asked his wind hold, he was now at around 2.5moa right hold in a left wind. I had to stand up and go see what he was doing, sure enough, his rifle was folded over to the left, as he was dialing both elevation and right wind, somehow his vertical was matching up, and whatever his cant was he was correcting it by holding right. At 1K he was done, no longer effective. We explained it, straightened his system up and told him to stay level and follow our wind calls, he made hits to 1050 after the correction, nothing past. No one was there to really coach him, we were there for fun, BBQ and shoot, poke fun at one another. Gave him something to ponder on his drive home. I was lost on how he did it, a 6" wide target at 700 is no walk in the park, yet he did it all the way to 950. Forgot, told him to get a level also. [/QUOTE]
