I glass the wooded ridges here in eastern wv, once I spot a potential target, the wind has been measured and entered, bar pressure entered I then range the target, and set the rifle up about 1/2 the time finding the target in the scope just never happens before it moves a good distance and then it must be found again in the binocs, marked, then ranged then reset the rifle up. about 50% of the game I would take is never seen again, they walk behind a tree and never come out.
one the instance I find the game in the scope I again range it, check the charts, verify my drop/drift, then settle down on the rifle, and watch, watch for that 1/2second window, when by watching the targets body language and demeaner I know they will not take a step during the TOF. all the while watching through the bullet path and take note of any variences in the wind in the bullet path, usually I make a minute wind adjustment as I see the window start to develop, by this time I have determined if I have a 90% or greater chance of making the shot, if so I check the level, hold low on the target and load the pod (lean into the rifle with about the rifles weigh of pressure) this brings the crosshair up on the target and takes the spring and flex out of the pod, then take the shot during the window, if not I abort the shot, and many times the window never appears and the target just walks out of site, when the trigger breaks its like that old ketchup commercial waiting to see the impact.
one of my favorite glassing spots, have taken a couple dozen deer from here, couple fall turkeys shots run to around 750 yds.



another, killed 19 bucks and a bear here

this spot max's out at 550'ish
