Wind Gusts - crosswind.flv

Due to wind gusts every shot was unique and the only queue was where the last shot hit vs. point of aim. I would remember OK 1/2 MilDot low and 1 MilDot left. Compensate on next shot... Oddly the wind appears and sounds heavy but the POI was only 1/2 a MD off where other shots were 1-2 MD that didn't appear or sound as windy...

The rangefinder is an essential tool in long range shooting. Particularly in the hilly terrain with deep gullys that can really throw some estimation curves at you when shooting offhand and guessing holdover.

50 yard shot turned up to 8-10x - was thinking that since it was a 45 degree downhill aim that I'd aim low and probably hit high... There was also a headwind blowing up the hill into my face at the time.
