It took a bit of editing time as I had camera trouble but I finally finished. I do know if it is of interest to anyone or not.
I have been revisiting my understanding of the effect of wind on my shooting the TX200. I had spent some time to check out the impact of wind on my .177 spring air rifle at 50 and 100-yards in a low to moderate wind. I expected far worse that I saw. It did better than I had expected. So here I decided to see the effect of a pretty substantial, perhaps heavy wind but over a shorter range. IF you look it will seem like a long video, but it is not. The main part of the video is about 3 minutes in length. The rest of the video is just “real time” video of the shooting experience. The real-time video is to allow those who wish to see the wind effects talking place if they desire. I also do some talking, but mostly just shooting. While it is always an optional view, the real-time part is especially optional viewing.
I used my TX200 MKII in .177 to shoot about USBR targets (Green Monster) somewhat over 25-yards but under 30-yards in a moderately heavy wind to see how it would perform. I was using unsorted, straight from the tin, AA 10.3 Field Heavy pellets. While I usually shoot AA 10.3’s pellets they are typically weight sorted and lubricated. These are not. Given the conditions at hand I did not expect much success. However, I was quite surprised at the results. The rig shot pretty under these conditions and not a lot different that I might see with “straight from the tin” pellets under better wind conditions. This makes me think shooting USBR type processes with a more refined set-up might be interesting.
For those who do not wish to look at the video but want to know I have the 2 targets I shot attached here. One is a 215 (Scored .177) and the other 213 (Scored .177) but I accidently had skipped a bull. I did not notice until I was home I had skipped one. The skipped bull is marked on the target. Assuming it had been a typical 8 or 9 the score would have been 222 or 223 but it was a 213.
