[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1638630, member: 97414"] When we think life can't get any better,,, then reality shows uup !!! I jumped into target shooting about 38 ish years ago,,, F Class in the last 5,,, and here I find my self in the Mid North of a place they call the Palusters Triangle in Western Alberta along the Eastern Boarder,,, more North of here in the rolly hills or better known as Noise Hill Country... Purhaps one could say it's the rolly hills of Wyoming with huge massive valleys,,, partly like the Virginia Appalachian mountain range less the thick trees or South Carolina Blue Ridge Mounts... Again,,, its not the territory of trees,,, but it has its sporadic bush patches,,, long valleys and endless miles of Rollies... A home of long distance shooting for the hunter class man or Gal up to 1450 yards,,, ok,,, close enough to think of it as the mile... Mid timer dude like my self is now looking at calling this place home,,, when the ever changing winds pop up,,, it will deffinatly hands you your @zz with what we think we know about WIND... Yuppers,,, Old school me got schooled on the 14-hundred with 50 shots launched a zero hits on the 24" gong,,, Ha... I could land my shots all around it,,, but the ever changing drifts of 5 to 14 mpr wind poppers shut this idea down... Dam,,, the learning game is on my friends,,, iron gongs as far as you can see at this club,,, small group of old to new timers and me now becoming the Yo-Hanns-Schmidt of what it takes to get onto these distance runners... I mentioned this on another thread here a while ago,,, and these words mean it all out here... """Begining shooters talk about Guns,,, Novice talk about Cartridges and Boolitz,,, and the rest of us talk about Wind..."""" Yes,,, rifles,,, cartridges,,, ammo and boolitz all play a factor in what it takes to reach out there,,, one of the key elements that many of us old to mid tool folks know is that none of this matters if you can't land the rockets where they need to be... Ha... Just past my mids as try this once again,,, but with better odds of landing more inners then outters... Ha... At least Yo-Hanns-Schmitd,,, """I""" hold the First Place Last Looser Award of yesterday's shoot,,, hopefully I do the same thing today as it will win me the most inconsistent shooter this club of folks have ever seen... LOL... If anything comes of this outing for me,,, it will be learning what to change next time when I return,,, things can only improve from here on in if I hit the gong at the 14 mark even if it's 1 out of the 100 shots fired. Ha... Reporting from the Windy Valley as we watch our shooting caps blow away in the breeze to never be seen again,,, did you know that 14 & 1/4 MOA at 900 meters are fast wind poppers... Ha... Lucky me since my optic allows for 50 on either side of the glass,,, getting schooled is a good thing... [/QUOTE]
