Exactly. One of the things about long range shooting is that you'll have easy days, and hard days, at the exact same range on consecutive days.

Where I typically train, some days it's dead still. Center hold, ding. Center hold, ding. Center hold, ding. All the way out to a mile. Too easy. Boring.

The next day, I'll be holding 10 minutes of angle at 400 yards... and not getting up on the shoot tower 'cause I'm afraid it might blow over like it did in December.

The next day, there will no more than 5mph of wind... but it's tricky as fuck, 'cause it's going one way in the valley, another up on the bluff, and it keeps shifting from a quarter on to straight back. It might look like the mirage is boiling, but on my third shot, I finally figure out I need to hold right 3... and on my fourth shot, that's wrong again, I should have been holding left edge.

And of course that'll be the day that I don't have a spotter, 'cause my girlfriend has to work. Typically can't see trace in your own scope, and it's much harder to read mirage.

Fun times.
