@thomasair That’s outstanding for 100 yards shooting!! It seems next to impossible to count by viewing the paper. It’s really impressive nonetheless.

Awesome shooting! I only shoot slugs at distance and am curious, how do you avoid pellet spiraling? I never shoot pellets (well, just for backyard plinking) but I've read a lot about pellets spiraling at distance.

I'm holding for wind. Although the wind was somewhat light... I still had to hold up to a full bull and then some.

There is no reason you can't. Get a good set of flags and always shoot over them. You cannot help but learn from them. It's best to learn at a shorter distance than 100.

Well thats the thing i don’t seem to be really bad out to 75 its the last 25 that i don’t always do well at and it can often be much worse Than i think it should be

Your pellets are probably starting to spiral somewhere between 75 and 100. Nobody can predict where they will go once they spiral.

It's mostly caused by trying to shoot long, heavy pellets at distances beyond what they were designed for. Shooting a shorter for caliber pellet will fix it.

Maybe your over thinking that last 25 yds. Once your projectile starts in s given directiin it will not tract back the other way. What a conflicting opposite wind will do is slow down the path it is on. So if you have say 3 flags to 100 that last flag will usually have the least bearing on where the shot will go unless that wind is much great than any to that point. I belive there can be too much information if you have say 5 flags to 100. First big advantage with flags is to not get caught in a reversal. That also is a good rule, don't shoot in a reversal. Often times depending on conditions you will find 1 or 2 flags tell the truth. Never shoot with out them and you will learn what they are showing you. At a match your flags and clock are your best friends. I also see flags that are in my mind are oversensative. They wiggle and jiggle when you can feel nothing, they never stop. I personally hate spinners kon them.
