[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 936385, member: 41122"] I said that 4xforfun How much does wind affect your vertical dispersion. Do some research and you will find out even for a 10 or 15 mph full value wind its less than the accuracy of most rifles much less shooters, and doesnt add up to much at 1000yds. And its far less compared to soft shouldering a rifle, having the butt of the rifle slip off the bag, or shooting in a changing condition because your rushing. If your rifle is horizontal stringing because a mechanical defect it will do so consistently regardless of the wind and wont change if you shoot 5 shots in 5 seconds or 50. If you shoot 5 shots at 1000 and they all felt good, you plotted the wind the best you could and got a nice solid hold each time and it produced a group 10" wide and 3" tall. Chances are thats a pretty accurate rifle thats doing its job. Vertical stringing is far more common at 1000 yds than horizontal stringing not caused by wind. Shooting fast is a technique used by match shooters to get thier shots into a small group before conditions change. If you wanna rush your shots in testing without compensating for conditions outside of any time restraints or regulations, have at it, but that makes about as much sense as three shooters taking one gun deer hunting.
