[QUOTE="sfdoc2000, post: 2350423, member: 76742"] Agree with greenejc. You are shooting at a fairly flat range where wind changes are inevitable. Hot air balloonists change direction by adjusting height above ground where 180 degree wind shifts are common. Ground effects , Coriolis effects and spin drift can add to wind changes to affect bullet travel. Competition shooters often put range flags every 200 yards or so to see the wind changes downrange. I did it shooting smallbore competiton with flags every 20 yards out to the 100 yard targets. regarding scopes, make sure the vertical reticle points to the centerline of the bore. When in shooting positiion move the eye left and right to make sure there is no shift in point of aim. If there is a shift in POA then the scope is out of parallax adjustment. Change the parallax adjustment until the shift is minimal or hopefully zero. Just some thoughts. [/QUOTE]
