[QUOTE="BillyGoatGruff, post: 1341723, member: 63346"] Yep, the wind got me the other day. Like I said I had zero wind first thing and it felt so calm. After I shot at 714 and moved to 1001 and shot another group( trying to do some trajectory validation) When I went to check the target I had no impacts? Dam, wth? then I felt it. just the slightest wind. 3-4 mph I only had a small target of 14" wide. that slight wind pushed my bullets off target. Lesson learned, pay better attention to the conditions... I guess Im so used to it blowing all the time that a breath of wind had me thinking it was clam. 4mph is 18" of drift for my bullet. Another note to self. Bring a bigger piece of cardboard.. I'm going to look at a north south setup this weekend when I go again and see if it will work. The area where I can set up N. S. safely has a long steady rise over the course of a mile with the high point pretty close to the middle. need to see if I can see the target after I get past 5-600 yards from a prone position. Thanks for the comments everyone [/QUOTE]
