Thanks for the support... it is much appreciated. This would have to be the first time i have ever miss read Norways drop chart format... and as such i never queried the value i had dialed. My mistake, not the dope's, the scope's or the gun's. I am certainly not proud of the very poor shooting on my part but i did come away with a result i am proud of. I equiped, set up and coached my partner to well deserved 6th place overall (from 23 shooters) in her first ever long range event. I was certainly not embarressed that she well and truely beat me, I was embarressed about my own shooting though. She had an awesome time and is mad keen to go back next year.
