I like the idea of checklists, being a guy who under pressure often chokes. If I have a handy checklist nearby I can refer to it in situations that require quick mental acrobatics and focus. I think we can all benefit from others, so lets capitalize on the vast knowledge here represented by the astute members of our forum.
So I will start:
Situation: 18 Pound groundhog just stood up only 75 yards away in front of my new Creedmore with Viper scope. I just went belly prone in my too tight 511's and Gargoyl shooting glasses. Put the mildot right on his bean and after calculating wind drift, coriopolis effect and calculating time it was going to take for the ant that just bit my thigh to make it 5 inches higher, I squeezed off the shot. Partner is screaming "TWO MILS LEFT" into my deaf ear. Groundhog is still standing there, now looking at me me with an "I can't believe this" look.
Partner is alternating between screaming advice and questions, starting with "What the...!?"
I need help, fast!
Excuse Checklist:
1) The VLD's are shooting high in this arid hot day.
2) The scope was canted 2 mils left.
3) Should have brought the AR
4) Groundhog is not where he appears, due to mirage.
Ok guys, you take it from here.....
