150 yard Optima target
 
A horrible day to shoot, tried a few loads and spent more time swearing at the wind than anything else. You might get away with 20 MPH wind gusts at 100 yards but at 150 its pretty amazing how much it will affect the bullets drift.

100gr Blackhorn209, CCI 209 Magnum, 295gr HP Powerbelt @ 153 yards. Ok i admit it, my box was boring so last night i spiced it up a bit LOL.

Well I see a problem right off the bat. Is it Dirty Bird or Birchwood casey??:D

Boy MD must be tough shooting in that wind. It must have been blowing right to left to get THAT far off the bull. And what's with that one WAY down there on the bottom? Geez that group has to be 1 1/2". SLOPPY, SLOPPY, SLOPPY.
OK - I guess that's enough sarcasm for one post. Good job.

All I can say is - WOW!

have to wait in between wind gusts. I wanted a 5 shot group but ended up going out at 530, taking a couple more before packing up in disgust with the wind. I HATE wind.

If you think you hate wind shooting. You should try fly fishing.

:s2: Well its a dirty bird target i shoot at but i have to use the BC pastie due to my scopes cross hairs. Could have used either for the target box but i really liked the dirty bird logo, just seemed fun to have on my box.
