I've shot pellets in wind so much over the years with given rifle and it's pellet of choice its become second nature where to hold... Then comes slugs. With my lil 177 slugger I got my hold overs down..but in the wind my hold off... Not so much.. there was a decent amount of wind today when I was out on the farm starling popping... Miss after miss I was thinking "what is wrong with my rifle" or "maybe it's just too much for a 177 today" ( I can usually pop starlings out to 80 yards no problem) nope... As usual it's the shooter. I got a glimpse of my slug through my scope missing AGAIN.. I got so in tune shooting a 177 pellet my hold off in a cross wind with slugs was wasaay off.. once I finally seen it.. two starlings in two shots take a dirt nap. Even a 177 slug bucks the wind pretty good... what a evening.. . 20+ shots and 3 starlings .. geeze I'm a slow learner!
