[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 936625, member: 9172"] Wind------You are talking about horozontal winds. If you shoot on dead flat land, that is all you will see. And you are correct...it doesn't add up to much. Add hills, valleys, ditches, ect and you get VERTICLE WIND. Go up and shoot a 1K match at the Harris MN range. It's not uncomon to see a foot of vertical caused by wind. Lots of times you can look at the targets on a relay at a match and see where a push or letoff cought most of the field and the shots string to the left or right....well, at Harris you can also see a foot of verticle, and it will affect 90% of the shooters on a relay. It's there, and it's pure VOODOO. If the rifle slips off of the bag or your sholder, you are shooting too fast. I said shoot as fast as you ACCURATLY CAN. You are absolutly correct, match shooters shoot as fast as they can to shoot small groups. Learn from that statement. There is nothing hidden in it...shooting fast makes small groups. If a compeditor scrwes up his/her group by shooting TO FAST and loosing control of his equipment, then he shot TO FAST. Shooting as fast as YOU CAN is not the same as shooting as fast as possible. The odds of a condition changing in 30 seconds is much, much less than say, 5 min. I am not saying shoot your string in 10 seconds with a round bottom 338 lapua...pretty sure it can't be done accurately. BUT doing it in 1 min vs 5 min....very doable and it will yeild better results. [/QUOTE]
