I would say I’m trying more to learn than solve a problem. If I stay within my self imposed range of about 300 yards I could hit the lungs of a deer or elk if the wind isn’t too bad. But there will be days when the wind will be a lot worse than it was here yesterday.

When the wind gets up to where its hard to deal with to me, like 20 plus, it also affects how stable of a position I can get. Even prone can get you moving some and if anything other than prone really moving.

The ability to kill to 300 in any condition should make you happy.

If you want to know how your gun really groups, wait until night, no mirage, a calm night with no wind and then shoot groups. If you are still having groups you are not happy with then you have work to do.

One of the most important things is straight ammo. Straighter the better.
