Default Shooting in the wind

This weekend I shot outside in a pretty strong wind. I don't think it affected my arrow flight as much as it affected my ability to hold steady at full draw. It was like my bow was a sail - catching every gust and pushing me all around at full draw.

Does anybody have any good tips for holding steady in a 20 - 30 mph wind?

I can tell you I won't practice in a wind like that.

I know enough from my golf days to know this about myself. It does me NO GOOD.
