He was showing how brutal the wind was in this photo. You can see the miss on the target. And the impact indicator was in the target to the pullers right... lots of drift! Wow!

I shot at West Texas Long Range one day. 7 1/2 minutes with a 284, the 308’s needed 10 minutes. If Tim took the pic, then it was most likely FTR shooting at this time.

We are all wishing there were shirts that say “I survived Raton 2019”.

The way some of the veterans of this place talk, this was by far some of the craziest weather they’ve ever seen.

To be in the pits and watch someone go from an X to a left 6 to a right 7 and back to a left 8, the to a ten was one of the most mental things I’ve ever experienced being in the pits. Then knowing you were getting on a bus to go shoot in the same conditions.

Sometimes, just being a spectator isn't such a bad thing after all. ;)
 
I was on relay 1 and I don't think I have ever shot in these types of conditions! I came off the second string and had dropped 14 points and people were saying "good shooting" !! Playing ping pong with the 7 ring was common.

There was no chasing the spotter as every shot was a new condition.

New conditions every shot! That would make shooting extremely difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a high score! On the other hand, conditions being that bad, a low(er) score may very well be "decent", when compared to the other shooters scores during the same relay!

Mine was more like put 4 on the gun hold center for first sighter. Mid ring 6 @ 3 o'clock. Wait for other dominant condition, hold center again - 7 clinging to the edge of the black. Alrighty, got it bracketed :D

10, one on. Windage knob got a workout ;)

Got caught a few too many times on the changes, though.

Good shooting on that one Dean!
 
I had 2 minutes on a .284/184hybrid/2800fps on a good puff.....held on the left frame for an inner 10 upwind. Saw a little more wind on the flags so let one off with the same hold and ended up with a downwind 7.
