I have been shooting at ranges out to 1000 yards for many years. No amount of skill will stop the wind, and no person can know when the wind will blow, or the direction, or the magnitude, or for that matter where (for the wind blows differently at the place from which the shot was fired, the intermediate ranges, and the target). Skill cannot predict when an animal will move, and the time to impact of a high velocity bullet at long range is considerable. On 1000 yard shots I can raise my head and watch the bullet arc to the target (really quite interesting in itself, as the twisted path tells a lot about the intermediate wind). I know plenty of prairie dog shooters, and I know they kill a large percentage of the animals at which they fire. It's the few they wound that keeps me from joinng them. I do not condem the practice of others, but only explain my reasons for not joining them.





**Well I guess this is an item we are NOT going to agree on .. but that is the beauty of this--you can do what you feel comfortable with and I will as well..

Per the earlier comments as to skill versus luck and wind, etc.. some common sense would apply here.. somthing that seems to be in short supply these days.. but YES, you would not attempt to shoot long yardages in severe winds--

Interesting in that you mention 1000 yard matches, as we are just getting a 1000 yard range set up about an hour from my home--plan to use the 6.5/284 for starters--looking forward to the fun..

As to prairie dogs--I am going to keep shooting..
