Had a question for the more experienced ELR people here. I’ve shot two ELR matches now (KRG and Nightforce, will be attending both again this year) and shoot locally at a friends place out to a mile. My buddy and I went out yesterday and the heat mirage was absolutely insane. The optics we were using was a Gen3 Razor and a SB PMii 6-36. Through the razor at a mile our target was almost impossible to keep track of. The SB was a little bit better but not by much. Here were the conditions. 50 degrees F, 85% humidity, and a north wind at 6-15 MPH. It rained all night the evening before we went out and it was overcast while we shot. We were shooting over some rolling hills with grass. It was the worst mirage I have ever seen. Is there a way to combat this? Lens filters? Changing optics? I have some experience with shooting ELR but not enough to know the answer. Thanks for any insight you may have!
