Interesting what you can do without touching the turrets on your scope. The three shots at #1 were taken at 300 yards off bipod without compensating for wind. They are 1.25" group. This was after sighting 1.5 inches high at 100 yards. I'm using 300 yard hashmark.Wind ...was variable 5-10mph from right to left. Shots were taken with 3-15x42 Conquest HD with Rapid Z800. Velocity was 2808fps. Rapid Z calculator said to set magnification at 11.5x which three shots at #1 were taken at. Shot #2 was taken with magnification reduced to 11.25x. Shot #3 was taken by compensating for a 5mph wind using nothing more than the hashmark on the reticle. Shot #4 was taken by compensating for a 10mph wind using the 10mph indicator on the hashmark.
It really demonstrates the versatility of the Rapid Z under a wide variety of conditions but also the importance of field proofing your magnification setting and knowing exact wind speed. With that said, everything was well within the kill zone on a deer.
