When you guys are shooting your tiny groups out at 300 meters how do you deal with mirage?? I was shooting today at 300 and found the mirage imposible to do any precise shooting. I just wondering if you guys have any tricks in dealing with mirage.
When the conditions are clear, zero your rifle dead on at 300m.
Now when the conditions are filled with mirage, take a look at the mirage and what pattern it presents. Aim dead center and shoot a few rds. You will quickly find that the POI has now shifted.
Yes that is exactly what was happening. I had it dead on at 300. The mirage got heavy and my groups shifted to the left just over a inch. What I found interesting is that when I got some cloud cover I was back on zero. This amazed me so much I fired several groups with and without mirage (clouds come over no mirage) and got the same results each time. A little more practice in these conditions I guess or maybe just not shoot in mirage.
So I take it a boil is basically moving up more or less.
