Terribly sorry. I will refrain from posting on your threads in future.

you guys have been on other forums -quickest way to ruin someones thread is post images that dont relate to wind and mirage and talk about your sticky grip rifle .This is about building information for others to read about Mirage and wind -add to if you can or learn and ask releant questions and someone may help you unless you have finnished the journey of learning ???

it is a shame Tui_man2 you find a subject like this not worthy of adding to -I would ask is this forum just like at pub to you , chat with the boys tell how big your dick is and go home all proud having accomplished nothing -I would well imagine new shooters will be incouraged and helped by you to evolve this sport and forum !! Yeah right
So far there are a few interested in this subject but it appear most are haters and tall poppy cutters that have little to nothing to offer ???

Dont know what pub you go to there in auckland mate.......but what ever floats your boat

Everone has there own ways of doing things thats what makes good shooters an average shooters

New shooters shouldnt be trying to go far enought for a start for these things to matter, so would be a case of learning the basics first

Wind and Mirage are the basics and the sooner you learn to use them to assist you the better .It appears several here feel uncomfortable with this great topic or the fact it has been posted ?? As this forum grows from friends to unknowns these topics will be asked about often -I am pressuming you guys want this forum to grow and have great info on it ??????? .
I am about helping people especially new shooters or those that know less than me hence this post -if you guys know it all add to the thread .

There are many good things on the net that one can post so you dont need to write a book or do a film if you have an offering that says what you want to portray- you dont need to envent the wheel or feel that you are cheating by publishing sound findings done by others .
I dont go to the Pub in Auckland and currently I dont drink -Charnui English breakfast tea milk no sugar with a dash of classical music to relax with

They might be basics but if you cant hit the arse end of a barn out to 500m then in the real world you dont have to know about wind an mirage as the distance you will be shooting they wont matter enough to miss anyway.

Mirages has never bothered me much for the target shooting days cant give away one easy way to limit that.......
Wind just look at the vegetation arond like what has been posted it takes time to learn an like i say people get use to things different ways, a with long range cals you can limit this to some degree also

I dont visit the pub much either but know how to have a drink or 2

Best keep off the piss Tui_man2 you can spend more on ammo ! I am a target shooter if you like in that I dont hunt .I shoot alot and anyone that shoots with me shoots a fair bit to .We have newer people out to shoot and theyre not thre to shoot 50-100 yards unless hunters -I expect someone with a rifle to know how to point and shoot -getting the other bit correct like trigger pull , natrual pont of aim , breathing , how to use their scope doesnt take more than a few lessons to makle them understand what is required -its upto them to perfect these things in time .From there they want to know why at 300 yards they can hit the small gong on a windy day --well you can imagine I dont keep the good oil from them .
After these things are passed on and understood it is up to the individual to ask for advice or practice what has been taught -problem with alot of hunting folks I have met they just dont shoot enough .Something I have found funny about many is they all say their rifles can shoot "basically"a one hole group-always amazes me

Id be lucky if i spent 40 a week on piss i get most given to me anyway, i dont really see the point in shooting lots when you are happy an know your gear i shoot steel also with friends an to confirm an to try an push it a little but i wouldnt try to shoot animals that far as i know my limits an there can be few things to go against you, an putting a second round in something 700+ is not idea

wait time the middle of month an me an your mate baldbob will put you up a wee vid

Id appreciate that Tui_man2 cheers

Thats where you IMHO are wrong, wind and mirage are not and should not be considered the basics when it comes to LR shooting. If they were, everyone that could shoot a reasonable group, say MOA at a 100 would be LR competent.
I have seen most of the posters on this thread shoot LR, they are above average shots and have heard good things about most of the others from those in the know. I have only read that you are any good from your posts. You are coming across as a little elitist on the subject, which is fine but maybe a reason the thread has not been added too by others.
