I do not understand why anyone thinks a serious shooter would post anything that was not precise.

Big Splash
This morning it took six shots to produce the hit in the VIDEO. The target was an emptied, then filled with water, five pound Blackhorn container. Even from 401 yard, i could see the big gush of water fly out at impact.
Before the first shot, the wind meter say the wind was 4 mi/hr. The cheat sheet say to dial 5 moa into the wind, it was done. The first shot hit about one foot down wind, and low. The windage was increased to 7 moa, and the elevation raised to 34 moa. The second shot just barely missed down wind. The windage was increased to 8 1/2 moa. The third shot hit a foot upwind, and i could kinda tell the wind had decreased. The fourth shot just barely missed on the upwind side too. Can't recall where the fifth shot hit, but i recall thinking about how the wind felt. The sixth shot i waited until it seemed the wind was right for where the bullet was impacting. A second after pulling the trigger for the sixth shot i saw the jug explode, and water gushing all about. It was exhilarating.
Afterward, the wind meter say the wind varied from 6 mi/hr to 11 mi/hr. Obviously, some luck is involved when one hits the target in these conditions.
