[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1496656, member: 101677"] It’s a 450yd shot, you do not need to factor up drafts, thermals, or even spin drift into the equation. Elevation and wind is all that’s needed. With a tail wind what I would’ve done is glance at my dope chart set to the density altitude of where I’m hunting that’s taped to my scope and simply held over the required Moa on the elk. To the op, I’ve shot overtop of two separate coyotes around 500yds because I fully extended bipods and had my elbows too vertical, creating an unstable rear position and my bag wasn’t tall enough. Heck the second time I did it, I was aware of the possibility, but figured I could get it done. I missed and cursed myself for not crawling to a better position or even moving to a sitting position. As others have mentioned, tools like the bipod buddy can help in awkward high positions. If you have a backpack, throw it under your chest and right arm for more stability. I seen you ordered a bunch to try, you’ll get it figured out what works, but practice how you plan to shoot in the field. If you haven’t practiced it the field is not the time to try it out [/QUOTE]
