Yep, takes a real act of pure genious to put a stand up 50 tds downwind of a feeding area, tavel corridor, or a bait pile.

First if you think that is what all hunting is actually like then that's another poor reflection on you. But in that same vein of thought, if it's no act of genious to set up 50 yards away then how dumb is it to back off another 700 yards on purpose?

Yes and what math equation do you use to calculate 3 variable wind speeds from three slightly different directions at 3 different points along a 750 yard path? Hell, what means do you use to even detect that situation? You are playing sniper and using live deer as your pop up targets. But fear not, since you are our only source of info on what you do we will never know how many legs you blow off. We will just hear about the shots you want us to hear about. In other words the ones that killed something.

Go easy there. There are a few people on this board who are truely knowledgeable about long range shooting and ballistics. If there are people that could reliably pull off shots like that, my money would be on RR. What he does doesn't concern me much, its the new hunters that think they need to shoot 500 yards at a deer and have never shot at a range beyond 50 yards.
