***RR---I'm glad you made that post because you're the guru of long range hunting/shooting on this website and what you posted is exactly why we are all calling BS. Even at half that speed it would still be a 13' lead for cripes sakes and he's trying to equate it with a standing target. In other words, he's trying to compare/equate that running shoot at 500 yards to LR hunting just because they're using that adjustable Huskemaw scope with adjustable turrets like you guys use and that know all the ins and outs of wind doping, etc. just to be as close to 100% sure you're on the button to hit a
stationary target. Trying to equate themselves with guys like yourself that do standing shots with shooting at running game is an afront to you and all the rest of ethical hunters everywhere.
