Just twistin’ in the wind

[Topwater]

While shooting a couple IBS fifty yd. 22 targets yesterday, the wind kicked my butt. I was really bearing down, concentrating on my squeeze and follow through. Actually, I was doing fairly well, much better than my last match. I was through ten bulls, shooting 10s and a few Xs. THEN……the wing picked up! All of a sudden 6s, 7s, 8s & 9s we’re taking over my target. I surely admire those who can read and adjust to changing conditions.

Your rifle and ammo can shoot just as well in the wind as it can in the calm. All YOU need to do is practice and shoot sighters.

Not yesterday. It was so calm at first that I didn’t set ‘em up.

Even on calm days, i've seen guys setting up 4 wind flags shooting 100 yard bench rest.

I thought they were crazy. Till i saw how much it pushed a 69gr MK from a 223 Rem.

That is the worst conditions to shoot in, IMO start off in so call calm then the wind comes in. I have shot my worst scores in so call calm

I may get out again tomorrow morning and see if I can redeem myself. I’ll bet the flags go up regardless.

I always put up the flags.
