[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1212110, member: 30902"] On the high plains where I'm talking about it's not that kind of challenge, you get stuck quite frequently shooting in 20-40mph winds on almost any given day and rarely are they steady so you get unexpected momentary lulls along with really severe gusts. It's relatively rare to have a day that the wind doesn't at least blow 20mph most of the day. You just get used to it when you live with it day in, day out but I've known a lot of guys that head out there from either coast or the Midwest on their first trip and get gobsmaked by it and really have neither the skills, nor the experience to deal with it. I shot a running coyote one day in front of six clients as we were heading in for lunch. It was blowing easily forty MPH quartering left to right an I actually had to lean the coyote two body lengths behind him to compensate for the wind as he was rapidly closing in on 500yds by the time we could get stopped and get the gun up ready for a shot. None of them could believe it when he cartwheeled on the first shot. I was almost as surprised as they were since it was a brand new rifle I hadn't even shot before but I wan't about to let them know it.gun):D [/QUOTE]
