[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 225217, member: 4885"] Although I've shot a bunch and done action type competitions, I've never done any rifle competition. I've noticed a few times (yesterday for example), that Mirage was having an impact with my groups. While the wind was blowing (10-12mph swirling), I was shooting 1/2moa and better groups with my 338am yesterday, all horizontal. Then when the wind stopped, but the sun was bright and shining right on the target, my groups changed to 1/2moa all vertical. Do you all think this was Mirage? I was shooting at 200yds and it was near 90 degrees and bright sun. I could see the shimmering of the target at times, and other times I couldn't. Anyone know of a good reference/reading material for me on this subject? Thanks, AJ [/QUOTE]
