[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1332592, member: 90453"] Time is great and all, but sometimes you just don't have that liberty. I understand the ability to chose a favorable shooting position, but when your position if set, and you get an unfavorable wind, is it really just buttwinging? (Physics term from college for a wild *** guess) We shoot a long range (850 and in) competition monthly. We are basically shooting into the foothills. Out to 475-500 it is fla aside from target burns. At 550ish it starts going uphill. The 650 targets are set in a small finger drainage and the 850's are on a semi-flat surface with another hillside behind. Prevailing wind is left to right, but it changes. When the wind has any angle toward the hillside, front to back or back to front, things go haywire across the line. Scores go from 80% to 60% hits for the top class. Are there any detectable clues as to what stage (empty, filling, or spilling over) the wind eddy is in? Edit: we are on a 3 minute clock to shoot 5 rounds at 5 different targets. [/QUOTE]
