Heres a group I shot this morning with my Carlock 338 EDGE.
Conditions were
Alt 178 FT
Temp 57 F
29.68 BP
70 % H
My new swinging target was placed at 1342 yards.
Now as I was getting all my gear together to shoot the wind picked up to a small gale... So I nearly did not shoot.. But then thought " What the hell ! ".. Lets do it..
Getting 38.25 up and calling the wind at 4-5 mph from 8 oclock I fired my first round... Whoa... about 4 ft right of the target with good elevation. So I got straight behind the spotter and could see about half way to the target the wind was roaring left to right.
Next shot I called 10 mph wind same elevation with 5.25 wind. Hit on the bottom right. So holding slightly further left I fired 2 more for this group. Group was 11 " side to side and 3 " top to bottom.
In a gusty 10 mph wind I thought this was fairly decent ?
Getting ready to go..
Target and gear back at the house..
Close up of the group. First was on the right and the next 2 middle and 3 left.
I would never fire at game in these conditions but it was a learning experience.. Thats what it's all about really.
Cheers
