I've shoot out to 400 yards regularly with .300 wsm and .243wssm and it still amazes me how much of a factor cross wind can be. where u shooting from a tree stand, gree hand, or bench.
I was in an enclosed tree stand .
I had a solid front rest and sholdering rear .
The air was calm with almost no breeze .
The wind that was moving was headed directly at me .
Yes he was a small target and Yes as I stated LUCK was on my side ,
Would I do it over again in the same senario ??
Sorry but I wouldnt of changed a thing .
I,m not just a crack shooter and I do have a ton of respect for the animals I hunt or put down .
I shoot regularly at 100 , 200, and some 300 yard shots .
Believe me I will be shooting out to 600 yards next spring, testing , wind, ammo, etc,
I,m not on here to bash anyine here and I dont ,
But if you have any negative comments or sugestions you should consider PM,s ....
