Question
Hey guys im a relatively new shooter. Me and my buddies were talking about shooting long range and they said they could make a 300+ yard shot with a 20 to 30 mph wind. All they said is that they would just make the adjustments on the scope but im not sure. Is this possible to make a good shot in these conditions?

Go to 29 Palms and check out a 1000 yard match. You'd be supprise what one could do when shooting in the wind.

"they said they could make a 300+ yard shot with a 20 to 30 mph wind"
Can they make a 300 yard shot? Have you seen them make a 100 yard shot yet when the wind is blowing? John |

20-30 mph winds; you must only shoot on good days at the Stumps |
