[QUOTE="Buxndiverdux, post: 2801527, member: 108133"] I'll say my odds of a 1st round hit at 1K on a 10" circle with steady light wind and a range I shoot at often are probably 75% on 2-3 rifles. No wind at all and it's likley 90%. I'm talking about hunting weight rifles under 11lbs. Take me to a place I've never shot before, and have no prior knowledge of how the wind and terrain effect each other and it's blowing 5-10 variable with gusts to 12, and I bet it goes down to 50%. My rifles are capable of doing it every time. But that wind is a fickle mistress. Keep in mind, I'm not a professional shooter, but I've fired a few rounds over the years. I've been humbled plenty of times by simply switching locations and conditions. The more familiar I am with the shooting range and how the wind and terrain effect impacts, the better my wind calls are because I have experience with the location. Does that make sense to everyone else? [/QUOTE]
