1000 yds today

[Don McDowell]

Those winds were switching back and forth pretty regular, but the last time I was trying it from 800 yds they were doing complete reversals with little thunder clouds rolling over the top. That'll dang sure keep you busy cranking knobs.
I told Carol that if we ever put wind flags up along the top of that draw it'ld probably drive us nuts.
I did find out why sometimes some shots would make such a loud secondary whack that really makes the hills rumble. About level with the top of the target and about 50 yds back there's a line of shist rock that is shot straight up like a wall about 12 inches high. Well there are a number of places in that line that are shined by lead splatter and hunks of rock splattered around.
