This may have been covered before, but I couldn't find anything. So I get home today, earlier than usual due to the upcoming holiday. I'm lucky enough to live in the sticks with steel plates at a measured 50, 100 and 200 yards. I'm in a really good mood and think I'd like to put a few magazines through my AR10. I take the rifle to the shooting bench, ride down to the 200 yard plate and put on a fresh coat of paint. When I get ready to shoot, my scope is all fogged up, from coming out of a 70 degree house (maybe warmer in the safe as it has a Golden Rod) to the tropical goodness of SC.
This is not the first time I have ever experienced this, but it did get me to thinking about what if I was in a situation where I had to come out and fire quickly? Now I have shotguns and pistols, and an AR15 with iron sights for yard cover, but a 1,500 yard hurried shot at a coyote or any other mongrel is possible, and has happened (I missed). How do or do any of y'all worry with this?
