Learn to use your multiplex reticle as a german post.
Thiscould yield5"+ of drop compensation depending on scope.
Longer Range Tip
Pay attention to the enviroment when practicing and envision the sway of the grass, weeds and trees...remember(write down if necessary) how far overyour target was on your reticle andputit into 4 groups(for simplicity)
1 no wind to a slight breeze
2 breeze to light wind
3 windy
4 too much wind
A fixed power scope is helpful because you are always viewing the enviroment the same way every time.
Practice and you will improve.
Ever missed a chance at a shot because it was just a hair too dark?
When in readyto fire position close your dominant eye and keep the game animal in sight for at least5 seconds waiting for it put its head down or otherwise pausethen close yourother eyefor 5 seconds or so. open your dominant eye, aquire target and squeeze...this little "boost" only lasts a second or so, but it is a boost...try it sometime around the house.
Extreme long range has a million variables from multilple crosswinds to thermal swirls.
NEVER take a shot on a game animal at ranges that you know you can not make.
ALWAYS KNOW YOUR BACKSTOP
Go to your eye Dr. and get antifog balm...works great
NEVER SKIMP ON BASES AND RINGS

Aside from zero and learning the wind always shoot from field positions(i usetwo different lengthforked sticks)
Squeeze the trigger AS SOON AS you aquire target...the animal will rarely give you more than a second....it is good to practice this way.
