Used my 25 cal Condor shooting JSB KH's at ground squirrels !
First 37 yard shot... perfect middle neck hold, wind blowing from left to right ... missed perfect head high, 2 inches to the right !
Second, Third and Fourth shot at 77yds ----- all shots were perfect elevation all shots to the right .. wind was really picking up from left to right ! I was aiming about 4-5 inches to the left and shots were landing about 2-3 inches to the right. I tried to judge for the wind speed, but it was gusting and not a chance. Must say I was impressed with the speed at which the pellets got there and the accuracy of the shots just missing to the right. All the pellets were shooting as good as I could hold in the wind for sure . I now know I need to hold off a ground squirrel body length (8") in this kind of wind !
PS: Just bought a wind meter from Midway !
