[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1932289, member: 10291"] Shooting the same rifle/ load for the last ten years or so, my dopes for wind and elevation out to 1000 yards have been committed to memory, inclusive of adjustments for atmospheric conditions....the beauty of sticking with one system and lots of shooting/practice. I would be comfortable to 700 yards without a ballistic calculator or dope chart given an accurate range, wind dope, and conditions that are well understood. Given this, I still make it a point to have my “technology” available(range, atmospherics, wind)) in working order, with back-up, placing priority on its use. As has been mentioned by others, wind determination is primary factor dictating whether a shot is taken on game. Past 700 yards or so, level of difficulty takes a step function, and shots on game become much more selective, and the technology contributes certainty to the shot. IMO [/QUOTE]
