More than one National Championship has been won by people using a long eye relief 27X spotting scope.
My issue is mostly "seeing the angles " of the waves.
Just the other day I could have sworn that the mirage at the GGC was showing me at least 7 mph, with the waves running left to right almost flat, but I obviously failed miserably: I corrected for 1.5 MOA at 550 yds and sure enough my hit was 1.5 MOA to the left of my bullseye...
I know the theory, but somehow my eye confused a boil for an almost horizontal wave.
I am hoping that more magnification might help me see more details of the waves and, comparing it to what I see through the riflescope, learn what I am actually seeing.
I hope that is one of those things you can't unsee and it will just click to me...
