Not sure why I've wasted my time on it when a gusting 15-25mph wind will render every turret, hash, dot, dial, useless anyway.
That's some funny schit. Travis The truth is painful at times.

Any exposed turret that goes on my back over a backpack gets taped. CDS spins the most.

If you think that is the truth you should probably shoot in the wind some more. Travis

JG, Are you saying "every turret...." meaning elevation turrets don't work in the wind?

I'm pretty sure what he's saying is, guesstimating wind speed, especially at longer distances, is more difficult than shooting distance alone.

Travis What if I invited you out here to chase outsize muley bucks under the following circumstances.... I'd put you on a 180" buck, but you had to kill it at 750+ yards, in a 20+mph wind. If you miss, or wound, you owe me $10,000. If you kill it dead, you owe me nothing, and I'm out the per gun fee for your hunt. What would you do?

That's a bet 95% of hunters wouldn't take, even at 300 yards with no wind!

He and a few others make it out to be no trick, I wanted to give him a chance to put his money where his foul-mouth is. I'm hoping he'll be my 401K for the next few years. FWIW, I'd take that 300 yard bet, in no wind, any day of the week and several times on Sundays! I'm not worried about finding him a 180" deer, I'd like the chance to watch him sweat.

I missed that post where Travis claimed he could make a 750yard shot in a 20mph crosswind. Link? David

I'd tell you how stupid your comment regarding turrets and reticles was. Travis
