I Can't Win for the Wind! .......and rain

So this weekend made for 7 weekends in a row with extremely high winds and/or rain. It's been the same pattern over an over again. Nice weather by Wednesday but come Friday ....well, you know. UGH!!! I still work the week so weekends are what I Jones for.

Now, before some of you call me a wuss and tell me to get out there and make use of my time and practice doping for the wind I'll say I have been wanting to get the gun tuned and zero'd in forever. And you need calm conditions for that. I finally said to heck with it got out yesterday in continuous 12-15 mph wind and found a work around. I got behind two barns that were blocking the SSE winds and managed to get out to 50 yards but there were gaps of no blockage. I gambled on the idea small windows of wind wouldn't play as much on the trajectory as continuous wind from gun to target and it seemed to work. I did get lucky in the fact there was no rain this weekend. 

Anyone else having the same problem? 

I've only bought pellets once all year and the guys at the paintball shop thought I had died.

 
Welcome to my world....

If your scope is in proper alignment with your bore and has repeatable tracking then a ten yard zero for windage will suffice. After that any of the ballistics programs should be able to get your vertical zero damn close. I shoot year round mostly outdoors and matches don't get postponed because it was windy all week and I didn't have perfect conditions to get my zero, windage and in my case clicks. I live three miles from the ocean to the north and 10 miles to the south so the wind is a constant but never consistent.

Having said that I do love those calm days(there's always a tickle of wind) to get solid numbers.
 
I found zeroing in terrible weather you just need to get closer to the target then do the ballistic calculator work , I have been out laying on a piece of card board behind a hill in the dead air in horizontal snow fall zeroing a 300 WM at 25 yards then do the maths for a 200 yard zero , then recheck on a calm day and it works fine .

Play with Chairgun you will find your near and far zero's then find some dead air and confirm .
