The wind factor

[jimmymac]

Jimmy....You missed out on Tom's chili at the last match. It gives
a whole new meaning about wind !! LOL

Fuj. I’m looking forward to it now more than ever.

@jimmymac
When I was younger I was a member, now that I’m older I just roll with the flow and enjoy the day.

You and me brother, main thing now days is just enjoy and do the best you can

Yes I’ve heard that but if you never shoot in a boil, you’ll never learn how to shoot in a boil…So you might as well shoot in a boil.

I learned the hard way........ I blow out the top every damned time. Oh well........

 

[jpjulian]

What did you learn from blowing out the top ?
Aim lower….?

funny funny......... I learned to wait it out, unless I couldn't.....

I've left more than a few matches saying, "I can't blame the gun for that crappy score."

Yeah, been there and done that...mostly at Ben Avery too. The days when I was utterly confounded there outnumbered the days when I had the right firing strategy.

You can be the greatest wind-reader on the line, but if you cannot formulate an effective firing-strategy and have the discipline to execute that strategy, you will not win very often.

I was just checking some data from the nationals and seen your quote, I wasn’t being funny.

I was asking a question. I know I’ve been in the same situation a few times myself.

gotcha. Seems if I was on the 600 line in a switching condition, and suddenly got an off call 8 or 9 out the top I got caught by a boil and either wasn't paying good enough attention to the mirage or didn't wait it out long enough and paid for it. Usually at Camp Perry with iron sights on a service rifle. They've got these new-fangled scope thingies these days.......
