Wildcat in the wind

[rsfrid]

I took you all's advice and used wind flags today in the cross wind and practiced at 50 yards. My Wildcat is 25 cal shooting the 25 grain Kings at approx 888 fps. Below are a couple groups.

Wildcat shooting wickedly in the wind... Good groups and shooting on your part.

Pretty dang good in a crosswind!

Sub 1/4" at 50 yds with wind? Oh yeah, it's a shooter!

Actually .44” (a little under 1/2”). Really hard waiting for lulls in wind (if any). That's why only 5 shots in that group — there was always one or two get away from me when I missed the flag stirring. The mag dump has several that got away.

Darn good wind shots with your WC! Any help reading wind helps.

Should have enlarged the pic. I thought it was edge to edge instead of ctc. Still, impressive!

What Wildcat do you have ? Has it been tuned?

That’s good shooting on you. The gun has nothing to do with the physics of wind drift. Doesn’t matter what gun that pellet came out of it is you that did the shooting.
