[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 936475, member: 50867"] None of the 1K competition shooters I shoot with choose speed over accuracy. Many of them prefer to get their shots off within the shortest amount of time so that they can take advantage of stable atmospheric conditions, especially winds, but their goal is not to fire off as many shots as they can in a short time. Their goal is to load a followup round, line up on the target as quickly as possible, with the best form possible, and accurately squeeze off the shot. If they can do that firing five shots in ten seconds, that's what they do. If it takes twenty seconds, that's what they do. Emphasis is on accuracy, not speed. If a full value wind includes gusts that change the winds from 5MPH to 10MPH between your first and last shot you'll be at the mercy of lady luck and not entirely in control of your shooting results. In competition I have five minutes to fire ten rounds. I use all five minutes. Learning to read the wind and adjust to accommodate for its influence on the shot requires more skill than waiting for a lull in the wind and firing off ten shots as quickly as I can. :D [/QUOTE]
