[QUOTE="JungleShooter, post: 2206623, member: 110729"] [B]epags, [/B] yeah, what I typed in the middle of the night wasn't quite clear! 😄 Better: Airguns — because they don't require a Peruvian gun license! 👍🏼 [B]The red tape to get a gun license[/B] is so [B]THICK[/B] down here, you'd need a diamond drill bit to make a dent! 🤦🏻♂️ 🔶 Anyhow, the [B]typical challenges of estimating wind and precise range [/B]when making a long range [I]powder burner [/I]shot at many hundred yards out are similar when shooting [I]airguns[/I] at 60 or 100 yards. FOR EXAMPLE — and do consider the [B]tiny kill zones[/B] of typical airgun quarry (pigeons, squirrels, etc.). ▪At 60y [B]a light wind of 3mph[/B] [B]drifts [/B]the pellet [B]2.5" off[/B] (4 moa: the gun is a SPA PP700). ▪At 100y that same 3mph wind drifts my pellet [B]4" off[/B] center (3.7 moa: Diana Skyhawk bullpup). [B]▪ Misranging by just 2 short yards[/B] (range finder error margin) at 100y results in a [B]3/4 moa[/B] [B]error[/B]. [B]▪ A MV variation of as little as ±9fps[/B] causes at [B]1 moa[/B] [B]error[/B] at 100y. It's hard. And it's fun! 😄 Matthias [/QUOTE]
