[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1739153, member: 10755"] Interestingly, even though I had ample opportunity to hunt at long range, I preferred to still hunt and stalk game. I then bit the bullet, pun intended, and entered F-Class Open with my newly built Rem 700 custom switch barrel in 300WM. As this progressed, I got more and more interested in using those skills I learned and, help from a couple of buddies, to start LR hunting. Our first endeavours proved difficult as we found managing wind calculation across wide gullies/canyons would be way out from what we thought. A spotter with a Kestrel was a big help about halfway across and up the other slope, but still proved that doping wind in that environment was very difficult. Now we only hunt fringe country, where open farmland meets the Bush, much easier to see and dope for wind there, if there is any, as most early mornings here are very still. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
