[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1415339, member: 99718"] #20 was an accidental discharge!! Ha, Ha, Ha. Both scenarios are right, It does not take as much effect from the wind at close range to throw it way off down range. The wind will not move a bullet at close range as easily as it will at the longer ranges when the bullet begins to slow down but at close range it is more critical. It's like moving your gun barrel, it might not be off much at 100 yards but it will be farther and farther off as it gets to the different yardages down range. But 86 said he was on at all yardages out to I assumed 400 yards, I would think that he should still see the hit at 500 if he was right on at 400. The close wind theory would not make it change this way, you would have seen it tracking off at each yardage. It sounds like there may have been a heavy unseen gust of wind. I would think that a good sized target was used, if not that could also be why the hit wasn't seen. [/QUOTE]
