Got a call end of last month from a rancher friend about a now defunct 6x6 killed at 700+- yards (ranged)by some well known folks on a late season tag.....seems the first wind call (one MOA) was not quite right,resulting in a gut shot.
Correction to 2 MOA, and the next two 7mm Bergers went where they were supposed to. I wonder which of the spotters made the first call? Despite great gear,experienced people,and among the best bullets for the purpose,there was still a screw up.
Walking that tight rope between "knowing" and "guessing",and recognizing the difference,likely separates the men from the boys in any shooting situation....the men stay off the trigger.
When the day comes that I have to depend on someone else to call my shots, I'll sneak closer or quit hunting.Don't need an animal that badly.
