Next season

[DeadEye]

The day I'm referring to at Phoenix there was barely enough breeze to make the tail of the flags lift, more like twitching and they were making seven minute changes next door (Gazaway and Youngberg). The flags are on 15' poles but the side berms are 20' so they are just lying to you. By the end of the day I found out that the local shooters use the top of the pit berm to pick up mirage (there's that local knowledge thing again). I'm told that for a 45-70 shooting a 540 grain bullet to get to the Ram line the height of the trajectory will be about 29 feet. I have no idea what it is to get to 1000 yards but it's up there a heck of a long time for the wind to play with. So much can happen after the call is made, just like Kurt said, that it can be a little frustrating, at least for me. But then I don't gamble or play the stock market either. Seeing something fall or hearing it go 'clang' is what turns my crank and of course there is a certain amount of leeway in both cases. Works for me . . .
