First scheduled PDog trip in SW Oklahoma in May just happened when a cold front was blowing in. We did not see a single PDog in the cold air and high winds in 4 hours.
We rebooked for July. The temperatures topped out to 109° with 15-25mph winds.
As the video will explain, I tried to shoot off the bench but could not spot trace, hammer trails, or see my point of impact which is absolutely necessary if you don't have a spotter.
I knew going prone would keep most of my shots over 350 yards in scorching temperatures and increasing wind. But at least I could see trace and point of impact for follow up shots.
It's very difficult to do all the camera work then get behind the gun, hope your lined up on the right PDog videoing, work the calculations, and take the shot before the PDog moves.
Here were the highlights. Only videoed a handful of worthwhile shots. To be honest for my 4th trip this may have been some of my best shooting considering the environmental conditions and challenges I faced.
