[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2586871, member: 10291"] I have often passed on shots at game when I felt uncertain. Wind IS an indeterminate. But I do treat each and every practice/target encounter as a unique case and learning experience, rarely passing. In the case of the OP’s challenging shot that 700 yard scenario at rocks, regardless of my past experiences, I still would have likely gone through all my ammo trying to figure it out. Having been confronted with the “impossible” target in PRS matches, invariably, some shooter figures out the shot. Perhaps it’s luck, or the conditions changed for just him, but it happens all too frequently and it usually becomes obvious they possessed the knowledge and experience to figure it out. I didn’t! Thankfully, each year, my list of “impossible” shots gets shorter, and some new ones get added. This development process determines the shots I will take at game. It is what has kept me captivated by this sport! [/QUOTE]
