Indeed an ever shifting dynamic environment to shoot air guns. What happens out in the FIELD TARGET range which is clearly different is equally requiring of one to pay attention !!

This stated have dealt with it first hand ....

Having shot FT Nationals at Rio Salado but never having attended EBR, I venture to speculate that winds blowing through uneven terrain and thick cacti, some as tall as two-story buildings on the FT course, presents different wind-doping challenges than those across a flat, open range bench-rest. Stronger winds prevailing from one or two directions (at a time) versus weaker, broken winds seemingly from any and all directions.

Not to say one type of wind conditions more difficult than another, only different. Speaking from experience, I can say both can drive an insane man to distraction; can't say how they might affect the sane.
