This only works if you know your true no-wind zero. [ryanjay]
Texas Solo said:Thanks for the replies. I think my problem is getting that initial adjustment within the 9 ring with only a few fouling shots/sighters. Once I find the sweet spot, I'm comfortable with hold off. I think I just need more trigger time in windy conditions.....which are EVERY DAY at my range. Good to learn in, but it sucks when you're having issues.
15mph winds today, which will change direction every 5 minutes. I'll call it a training day.

If you want to improve your shooting skills quickly participate in the team matches.
Listen to what your team mates say and do what the coach tells you.

A big +1 to that!
Not near as much fun to argue back and forth about as whether to click or hold, but probably way more important!

Laurie said:I was intrigued by dannybiggs' zeroing technique - I agree with the vital need to have it, but had never considered the reset to 3/4 to 7/8 left of the 100yd zero in still conditions. Presumably to take account of 1,000yd worth of bullet spin drift? Absolutely logical, but I'd never considered doing it, or seen it recommended before.
