A better way to skin that cat.
Cool scope. And great shooting. Crow
Never rebuilt a FWB.I have 6 inches to clean today. And I blew a winch on plow. It sure is white here. Crow
Yes the wind can play tricks on ya. Most wind problems are from shifting directions when you think you got it figured. 75 yards makes it even that much worse, I struggle at 40 yards some times with a wind flag set out at 20 yards..lol.I set up early this morning to get an advantage on the wind. The flag inched out to the left after the first shot, which was a clean miss!
I had some, but little success on the Crazy Eights again like yesterday. Also like yesterday I was chasing zero trying to figure this miss syndrome out. I would hit a dead bullseye, immediately followed by a hit in the dirt down low. Fed up I put my shoes on and took a target out there. It would have been a nice group if I'd been at 1000 yards.
So, Back to the JSB 13.73s.
Now I had a really good shoot, with plenty misses, but when I hold 4" into the wind and I should have held 7" I'm happy.
All in all I've been out here five hours, and "post" H&N, to JSB change, four rounds of Crazy Eights, the 1 1/4" spinner, three shot shells, one CO2 cartridge, and two side by side centered bulls on the paper target.
We'll be able to have a better look if we ever have a good long, low wind day to work with.
Today it seems the 95 does not like FT&Ts

I was thinking of putting small wind flags near the ground in my perifial vision while aiming. I got some real good clues when leaves got airborne and flew past my targets this morning.Yes the wind can play tricks on ya.

If the wind is steady from one direction you can usually hold off and they fly to the same spot, any shift in direction and that goes out the window.
For me, fighting the wind makes it less enjoyable,
but I still do it.
Need to hold a foot to the right..lol.I was thinking of putting small wind flags near the ground in my perifial vision while aiming. I got some real good clues when leaves got airborne and flew past my targets this morning.
It really increases the challenge.
With the pellet trap being black you can see the grey pellet turn with the wind and see if your holdover was + or - or "Bullseye" 👁

The flags today variable changing directions, and sometimes one full left and the other full right. I give 3/4 dominance to the 30 yard flag, for hold over guesswork.
The wind tried to take down the paper target leaving it crooked but still standing. The hanging med bottles is about four feet left of its relaxed position.
