@Brad Norman,
Thanks for the kind words.
You are correct, wind is the biggest factor to overcome.
Here is a target from a practice day at my club, 100metre target shot at 300metres just for fun. My range is usually not ravaged by wind, it is virtually a narrow track 900 metres long corridor between tall trees and thick coastal bush. Wind on this day was blustery, 40km/h-70km/h gusts.
We are not allowed wind flags for F-class.
I was doing quite well with my 22-250AI and 85.5g Berger in the wind, until that gust I misjudged put me out of the scoring ring.
It can be quite amazing how much the wind moves a bullet, even at only 300metres.
Cheers.
