Mirages has never bothered me much for the target shooting days cant give away one easy way to limit that.......
Wind just look at the vegetation arond like what has been posted it takes time to learn an like i say people get use to things different ways, a with long range cals you can limit this to some degree also

I dont visit the pub much either but know how to have a drink or 2

Best keep off the piss Tui_man2 you can spend more on ammo ! I am a target shooter if you like in that I dont hunt .I shoot alot and anyone that shoots with me shoots a fair bit to .We have newer people out to shoot and theyre not thre to shoot 50-100 yards unless hunters -I expect someone with a rifle to know how to point and shoot -getting the other bit correct like trigger pull , natrual pont of aim , breathing , how to use their scope doesnt take more than a few lessons to makle them understand what is required -its upto them to perfect these things in time .From there they want to know why at 300 yards they can hit the small gong on a windy day --well you can imagine I dont keep the good oil from them .
After these things are passed on and understood it is up to the individual to ask for advice or practice what has been taught -problem with alot of hunting folks I have met they just dont shoot enough .Something I have found funny about many is they all say their rifles can shoot "basically"a one hole group-always amazes me
