Everytime I've had a spot of time to shoot within the last 3wks the wind has been up beyond a reasonable level. I am aware that you have learn to read the wind and it is not the best to only shoot on calm days because you will learn very few wind related skills. BUT ?!!! How much information can be had in a 30-40mph, gusty, twiching, swirling condition. I feel like I would be just using up a good barrel for nothing.
