Hello @Ranchibi
Thank you, but the truth be told I am really bad at reading wind. What I did on this target was just simply wait until the wind was blowing at the least or no wind. I guess you could call me "a no wind reader"
. I tried some 25-yard shots and that card went into my "fire starter" paper pile .ThomasT

As a golfer I am ok at reading wind but not as good when it comes to airgun shooting in wind for some "unknown" reason....Hello @Ranchibi

Nice shooting. And windy to boot. We're around 50 miles inland from the Oregon coast and always dealing with the West winds .
My Vet .22 was doing well at 30y yesterday .

I'm always looking out for calm spots or days . Sometimes the wind is like, don't even try . And I shoot steel instead. Thanks .

Hello everyone,
Man I wonder about my sanity sometimes . When I was loading one of the magazines I noticed one badly bent skirt on a pellet but loaded it anyway . Then on the third shot ( see the red star) I felt the pellet really drag a lot going into the chamber. What I normally would do is shoot one of the “Sighters” or simply shoot outside of the paper target to get rid of the pellet. However for what ever reason I went ahead and shot at the #3 target 
,oh well my second shot was OK.
Range: Outdoor 25-Yardss

Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr

Wind: 2 to 5 mph
