Nice read and even to those that shoot often, there are still some good pointers in your write-up. Thanks.

One more point that should be made. Now that you mention shooting often. If you are going to play the long range game, you should be prepared, and willing to shoot often. It is a parishable skill, and if you don't practice, you won't be good at it. It's an expensive game to play. With shooting a lot, comes lots of ammo, and new barrels, ect, ect.

Good job.

You are a good man and I salute you.

Jeff,
Nice piece.
A lot of assumptions tend to happen for those who shoot often and at distance.
The "101" thread was a great idea.

Yea, that original post seems irreparably messed up.  It was much longer, all the images are gone, and the format isn't correct.

I am not sure what happened, and not sure how to fix it, sorry.
