Aim small-miss small

[Eric Johanen]

Rick, one of the things I've noticed is I no longer wonder about elevation settings at several matches I shoot because the elevations are known with in a few points. Depending on the conditions. light or tail/head winds swag a point or two and the elevations hold the 10 ring. First sighter at 1000 yards at Lodi was a 10. Things went to hell during the string due to very complex conditions (varying head and tail winds, mirage switching constantly, wind flags and mirage not agreeing). Being short on experience it took a long while to identify the dominate condition. One of my spotter's figured it out for the 800 and coached me to a very good score. My fault a miss on the last record shot. Got a little excited and got on the trigger just a bit too soon and dumped that one into the dirt! Well we do learn something every time out.
