[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 512351, member: 3733"] Well said Monte, I also shoot cold bore shoots locally where you take one shot on a target board at 600 and 880 yards, and I find this has very little educational value to the shooter about what his gun does consistently, because there is no consistancy, not with 2 shots fired all day. Sure some of the best practice is for me to drive down to bear bluff and punch rocks apart, but many guys don't have the available shooting areas, and taking a gun to a f-class match is a good place to wring out a gun and a load or multiple loads. I see the wind reading skill set as somthing that is learned or felt regaurdless of what you are trying to read, flags, trees, grass, or mirage, it all goes hand in hand. My sighter shots at 900 yards on this match were a first shot 10 and then a second shot x. with 3.5 minutes of wind dialed in the scope, I got instant feed back on my wind dope assesment so I learned somthing, my first sighter at a 1000 with what should have been more dope was a 7, but the nut on the dials turned them the wrong way instead of dialing 3/4 min more wind, I took off 3/4 minute. I learned somthing then too, equipment familiarity. If you ever shot in Lodi there is a 300 foot hill behind the targets and a cut down the middle of the course with no trees and a small dip, this range will induce verticle whith certain winds and that hill can cause a west wind to roll around the hill fron the NW or SW, When you hit that condition every other shot you are comming up with different wind dope. How much confidence is gained, equipment familiarity, muscle memory, trigger control, recoil managment, position stanima. Laying prone for about 1 hour a day used to fatigue my neck, now I don't even notice it. I think there is value in this for practice, you just have to look for it. [/QUOTE]
