A little fun shooting 1" spinner at 80 yds with the R10 on this snowy day. All of my air gunning attention has gone to the Wildcat lately since it got a new scope. Had to show the BSA some love. 
Snow is a pretty good wind indicator

Thats neat. I've never sat indoors while shooting through the snow. I'm sure everyone's wondering... "Did the snow affect your POI?"

I did not notice any change in POI. My regular shooting bench is almost directly under that window - but 5 yds closer. However, the warm/cold heat exchange thru the open window does sometimes cause a little "mirage" effect that can briefly blur the target. Mostly just an annoyance but it did cause me to miss on a good hit streak (at least thats my story and I'm sticking to it).

Just finished shooting out the upstairs window at 50 yards and was using the snowfall as Mother Nature’s wind flag.

I think it would be interesting to see some slow motion video tracking pellets thru snowfall.

Temps dropped lower today. Went downstairs to see if any of the AG's wanted to go outside and do some shooting.......
They locked the gun safe from the inside.

Ya buddy, and wind is the last legal doping in competition always a great idea to practice ( for hunt/target/fun/whatever) in less than ideal conditions.
And sprinkling the range with powder does help -mostly- I'll bet your hands stay warmer with you nice set up there tho
everyday shooting is a great day.

I used to shoot CF benchrest, mostly with 6 PPC. Lots of folks had great equipment, and good reloading preparation, which is a huge part of that game. But, when the wind blew, the real shooters won, even if their equipment and ammo discipline was not the best. With air rifle, our equipment and ammo prep is relatively simple, but, knowing how to read conditions is even more important, with light, slow projectiles. If falling snow is your "wind flag", whatever works. Sounds like fun.
