..... but you do have to correct for both the mirage effect and the effect of the wind at the same time

Lones Wigger always said..."Wind is your friend!"

This kids 10 years old and he can stick one in your ear from 700 yards. His first shot I told him to shoot center mass on the plate shown and that's where the POI was. Wind picked up from 3 o/clock but I gave him no change because I wanted him to see what the change of impact would be! Elevation was consistent! 308 Winchester...imagine that! He's had a good instructor!
