[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1318343, member: 96226"] ^^^ One of my favorite things to do. I like to shoot in the Mojave desert during the Santa Ana winds. 30-60mph winds and extreme range. You miss a LOT but that makes the successive hits that much more rewarding. Came in handy a year and a half ago at our state high power metallic silhouette championship. Winds from 20-45mph with lots of gusting and medium to heavy rain, standing up, offhand, no sling/jacket/gloves allowed and shooting 200-500m at 3MOA steel targets. I went 8 hits for 40 shots that time which wasn't too far below my normal shooting at the time (20% instead of 32-38%). I took home the title for my class, so did my coach. At several points in the match we were holding on the previous target to hit the one I was on which equates to 32-45 minutes (~6-9 feet) of wind hold. No point dialing it at that scale. The next day we did it again in worse weather. If you can't deal with weather, the real world will kick your butt. [/QUOTE]
