Don here's a little frustrating example that I was facing on the 900. Shot a X first shot, a 10 2nd and 3rd shot, a 9 and fired the 4th shot, no hit...no impact and Steve couldn't see the impact either, 5th shot was over also even after a elevation change, I decided on not firing a spoiler and didn't want to poach time on Steve so needless to say I ended up with 6 misses. Steve switches over adjusts for the 8 minutes of elevation from my last shot and impacts one in front of the target. Long story short, the head wind at 90-100' in elevation that you can't see can be frustrating. But it's all good and we had a great time. I was shooting my C. Sharps Hi Wall in .45-90, 32" McGowan barrel 16 twist, BACO 459542M3 cast at 16:1 Fed 150GM primer and 80 gr. Swiss 1 1/2. The load shoots good, my vertical wind estimation no so good! Farringer did a fantastic job though, congrats to him.
