Wind ?

[MikeT]

So, does a new guy watch the wind at the target or on the line? Inquiring minds want to know. Steve

Steve,

That has been debated ever since the chinese started shooting firecrackers. Something to think about; to start out how do you know what the wind value is at the target? At the line you can make an educated guess and probably get into the game.

My mentor was a 'mirage' guy, so that is what I use mainly. I look for either the same condition to shoot in or make an educated guess based on where the bullets have been hitting the target and how the current conditions have changed. Sometimes you must crank the knobs.

The in between distance is about 2/3 of the way to the target [long range] where that bullets gets fairly high in the air, so you may have to keep an I on what is going on up there also.

Do not be afraid to crank the knobs, you will learn a lot doing it.

All of this is what makes BP shooting fun.

Keep on hav'n fun!
