Wind

[EdSolomons]

If it blows left to right, and I'm shooting a straight going away bird, do I have to hold on the left edge to allow for the shot getting pushed over?

Also, if I'm closer to the equator does this have some effect on my pellets drop? It would explain why I didn't win in Texas...

Any suggestions greatfuly received.

Take your meds son......quick....!!

I'd have thought the clay would be affected more than the shot, with it being larger and having a bigger profile for the wind to push offline.

I could also be way off the mark, as my logic ain't always sound.

You ponder this Ed but not what your cart wad does when it goes bang.

If you're shooting a rabbit clay, you need to allow for the rotation of the earth. I'm not sure whether the earth rotates L-R or R-L though..... :huh:

 

[EdSolomons]

Should I choke up for orange ones as the paint seems quite thick on some of them...

 

[** Pending Removal **]

And don't forget the connection orange ones have to the sun on a sunny day.....!

More gin vicar??

On a serious level Ed.....take more bran in the diet....!

On the subject of wind, if the ref farts loudly when I call "pull" is that a no bird?

 

[EdSolomons]

Depends if its louder than the report of a small bore rifle. I'd call baulk if it was above .223

No

It's just what he thinks about your shooting! .

 

[Hawkeye]

It's only old people that suffer with toxin build up....

 

[watchman]

The coriolis effect would come more into effect the closer you are to the equator, so when shooting anywhere other than the UK you should by cartridges to suit, I have special ones for different parts of the UK even.

 

[Aspire]

Ed. maybe if you use 9's,they'll cut through the wind because they're smaller....
