While I've played with scopes in the past on pellet rifles and .22s, I've only recently gotten my 1st high powered scope and gotten out with it for a long distance shooting.
My targets were set up at 100 and 200 yards. From the shooting box the wind was picking up as I started shooting. Coming from my left at about 5 mph.
My shots kept hitting left. 1st zeroing at long range, I was adjusting until i was grouping the bullseye.
Only when I finished shooting and went to collect my targets did I notice that the wind outside the box was twice as strong and in the opposite direction.
I'm now adjusted for those conditions. Meaning I'm wrong for anything else.
I've got a 25 yard indoor range where I've been able to get elevation right and windage correct for a totally calm day. Should I head back there, redial it in for those conditions and just correct for wind in my aim?
What do the more experienced people, without a budget for spotting scopes and wind guages do to keep their poi on target in forever changing conditions?
