A number of factors, the worst being myself, influence the results, but in calm conditions it is getting to be consistent.
Wind and mirage will never be mastered they will continue to frustrate many LR enthusiasts. I have had completely opposite results in a boiling mirage to what I was taught to expect. I have had plenty of head scratching moments in LR but the fun is trying to nut them out. I have accepted the fact wind and mirage will always be my greatest limiting factor in LR hunting and shooting. I can only try to build a detailed log so that I have an idea if I ever encounter similar conditions.
