I liked the third picture of the flags. With that wind you are lucky to hit the target.

I basically wanted to show how much the wind ( conditions in general ) will affect the pellet side to side and vertical as well! And sometimes the condition that looks terrible but is consistent and readable, this is the one to shoot in, now I took some shots in switches I didn’t catch or wasn’t patient enough to shoot in the same condition as the previous shot? This was a very hard day for me to shoot in!!! But this is the day you must stay objective and not get frustrated, these are the conditions you learn from! But one more note: it’s absolutely imperative that you know that your gun groups/shoots the pellets that you chosen to begin with... these may not look impressive but I’m happy and did learn some things today that should help me in future shoots?

Tough conditions, good shooting. At least your flags didn't blow over. I hate it when that happens... ;(

Nice shooting, nomojo65! Cool backyard range you have too. Way to get out there and practice in tough conditions! Thanks for showing your honest results. Looks like the wind was moving that .177 around a good bit.

Trying again!, 13.4’s @ 54yds videoclip won’t upload? Let’s just say conditions were worse than last pics, considerably more switching! Hopefully I can get vid. Up? 2 things the wind today was E-SE, a little easier to read on my property, also noticed the chronograph was set for.22 25gr pellets from earlier shooting hence the 38ftlbs!

!!! Ok, another 66yd group today! Probably the second best group with 13.4 RD’s Wind = 3-5mph, really no fliers just me missing a wind call?

Factory settings 830fps average! let me be honest probably can’t duplicate that group again? I was shooting 16.1’s and turned to low power and shot at same distance as the 16’s! I said wind was 3-5mph? Probably closer to 1-3?

I wanted to add you will see some really awesome groups At 66yds in a earlier post , but if you Measure outside to outside which you must do if your looking for personal best, betting with your buddies for a beer or competition, this latest group is a tad smaller! I Haven’t actually measured yet but Will? I do feel better about this group because there was really no unexplained shots!( .887”) (FINALLY UPLOADED SOME WIND CONDITIONS FOR EARLIER POSTS!)

Awesome group, great shooting. Just for curiosity, and because no one else has done it, how about doing an EBR Target Challenge at 100 yards with the .177 RW? You'd at least get on the hall of fame since no other .177 has done it yet...
