AAHHH rral22.....there you are, I've been waiting for you're post critisizing me. In direct response to your question, I did not advocate this, I said I have used it, but that was before the glut of accurate rangefinders and adjustable scopes that we have today. That was 20-25 years ago but it was very effective and I also did not advocate "walking the shot" onto the animal, what I said was the first shot was held for a kill shot and then the miss, as it always was, is used to dope the wind and distance for a killing second shot. Hardly "walking the shot" onto the animal, my old sheep hunting partner and I have made several 2nd shot clean kills this way. But I'm not talking 1000 mtrs I believe the longest shot was made by my buddy at an estmated 700-750 mtrs. I believe my personal longest is about 600 mtrs. Using this method the actual distance isn't important as you, as the spotter, just tell the shooter where to hold to correct the shot. It is very effective within moderately longish ranges out to say 700-800 mtrs.
