[QUOTE="SSgt G Cody, post: 2504718, member: 113303"] Hmmmm! Looks like we're considering the many variables involved in long range target acquisition! First off, I strongly believe in scope mount being Very level, plumb, and secure. Next, we must consider effects of Friction, Humidity, Wind, Gravity, Rifling (Twist), R or L spin, Spin-Drift, Coriolis, Velocity, and Bullet Shape on bullet Trajectory, especially at long range (beyond 500 yds.)! Few hunters will take a shot beyond 500 yds., especially on windy days! We always recommend zeroing scope at 400-500 yds., then adjusting back to 200 yds. This demonstrates to hunters that they Can make longer supported shots. The biggest spoiler for long range shots is almost always the Wind! [/QUOTE]
