I did figure it out, John told me I was wrong and hasn't got the balls to tell me why he thinks I'm wrong. You see I am capable of calculating windage, I am also capable of calculating transfer orbits and I can shoot well enough to hit something the size of a door at 50 yards. You apparenly can't do at least two out of those three things. QuoteConversely, you could suck it up and admit you were mistaken. I am not mistaken.

GOOD boy!! *pats JackC on the head* While you're at your little condescension kick...maybe some remedial spelling classes are in order. As for the shooting part... come see me at the range sometime, and we'll see how things play out. Iron sights only, btw. While I said I wasn't a long-range shooter, I never said I couldn't shoot.

freethefly 6 #59 November 13, 2007 QuoteI can shoot well enough to hit something the size of a door at 50 yards. Doors don't move like greased lightening, twisting and turning. Not to mention that there was cattle also present in front and in back of the target that were also spooked and moving. I'm happy you can hit a door at fifty yards. If I ever need someone to kill a door for me, I'll call you. I'll use my rounds for the deer. Besides, I can hit a moving deer at over 200 yards and I use open sights (I'll never put a scope on my Winchester). I get the feeling your a city boy. Have you ever actually went deer hunting? Do you know the signs that tell you how the deer are moving? Do you know how a buck sounds or how a doe sounds. Do you know how a yearling sounds? Can you call a buck? How about a doe? Deer can hear the faintest sound and can see and smell anything out of place in its home, the woods. So, have ya ever deer hunt? If not, you know nothing about what it takes to bring a big deer down. I've placed a round in the kill spot and still have had to track the deer for near 3 to 4 miles. Not easy to follow a blood trail through the woods, up and down the hills, through creek beds and thick brush. Even harder to do when the shot is made at sunset and you spend the next 5 hours tracking it. Unless you know how to do that, best you do your hunting in the meat section of the grocery store. To the folks who dispise deer hunting, you should be glad that it happens. Over popukated deer herds cause major crop damage, property damage, as well as car accidents that kill people. Thinning the herd helps to keep produce cost down, keeps property safe and makes the roads safer (I see deer everyday on my road). Thinning the herds also reduce the chance for certian illnesses to flourish that cause havoc amongst the deer population. Hunting is the balances that keeps them healthy. Deer season also puts meat on the tables of a lot of people. People who would not otherwise have much to eat. A lot of venison is donated to the needy. Deer may look all cute and friendly but, it is a wild animal and they can be mean. A cornered buck will charge you with antlers down. I know several guys who have been badly hurt by a pissed off deer.
