Just keep in mind, figuring out your drop is simple enough, but wind is a whole other ball game.
If I hit where I don't hold at those distances, 9 times out of 10 it's b/c of something the wind is doing. You can only gauge the wind where you're shooting from. Unless you're blessed with a small tail wind/or head wind (which will play havoc on your drop also), you just have to shoot and learn to use your gut in how the wind is blowing. Watch the trees, brush, wind markers, anything that gives you a clue as to how much there is and which way it's blowing.
Once you get your drop figured, start practicing to learn how much a simple 2 mph breeze will effect your shot (enough to miss a deer at 700) Obviously there's simple calculations for that also..but the unknown is....how much wind is there for real between the target and me. You get the drift. That along with the 100 other variables and you're good to go!! ha ha. Once you start shooting those ranges and actaully hit what you're aiming at, I guarentee you'll get hooked.
BTW, it's normally a two man sport, so make sure you bring a spotter with some real good glass to watch what your bullet is doing. Have them set up behind you so they can pick up the bullet trace as it makes it way out there. I enjoy spotting as much as shooting sometimes.
From the recoil of my gun (no muzzle break), I can pick up the impact around 850 yards. Anything under, I don't know what my bullet did, so I rely heavily on what my spotter tells me and adjust my clicks accordingly. Some guys with muzzlebreaks get settled back down around 400 yards or less depending on weight and caliber of gun, and can see what their bullet is doing. I don't use those sissy things
ha ha j/k there guys. There is a purpose for them, more so than elliminating "kick" and this is one of them.
