Today was my first time shooting a 22lr for group in the wind. All my previous trips, the wind was less than 10 mph.
Today the wind was 25mph with gusts to 40mph. Big difference.
I wasn't so much shooting groups as I was small patterns.
Every time the wind would stop for a bit I would shoot three or four dead center and the the wind would swirl through again.
The wind was mostly from the right rear but would swirl in between the shooting line and the target. Sometimes lifting the bullet and sometimes knocking it down. Always shifting back and forth from left to right and back again.
Really hard to figure out for a first timer. Just about the time you think you have it figured out, you're wrong.
