does mirage YOU DON'T SEE affect your poi?

opinions please.

If you dial your parallax back and forth you can pick up mirage @ different yardages (I guess this is most apparent on 600-1000yd ranges)

So, if you're shooting through the mirage at 500-600yds....... and you've checked, you KNOW there's a wicked berm at 150yds that's shimmering like a swimming pool....... do you feel that it affects your shots?

Reason I ask.... in 100-200 I try to use the "snap-back" to figure out where the target is but sometimes at 600 there's no bounce or snap-back. Sometimes there's a pretty clear sight picture with the blueball kinda' randomly wandering around like a mouse in a box. All I know to do is fight for return to battery. Or cling to the gun like a limpet and try to hold it because there's no way to know where the target is..

Or IS there?

Does anyone have a method?

How many dial through the mirage checking at different yardages?

something few people realize about mirage, if it is boiling at 75 yards and you can get rid oit by refocusing at 125, no effect. If it is moving r-l at 125 yards and you refocus at 300 yards, you just shot a beggar 8, or a huge .900. if you are so secure in your bag/rest setup that you have return of battery always,.....screw the mirage and rock and roll. Otherwise, learn to read it and figure out what it is doing so you can adjust your POI

OK David, so help me out here.

If it's boiling and you dial it out NO EFFECT

but if it's running and you dial it out BIG EFFECT???

Or am I missing your point?
