TOP TIP FOR SHOOTING IN THE WIND...........
LEARN TO TILT YOUR RIFLE!!!!
I've been questioned no end of times as to how I can make the kills I do in the dire weather conditions we can experience here, last month we played a site that was on top of a hill, the wind was averaging 20mph, gusting to 35mph & it was raining!
Yet I still had complaints about using an over powered rifle etc etc because no one could believe I was making the kills I was in the conditions we were playing in.
Firstly, KNOW HOW YOUR RIFLE SHOOTS IN CALM CONDITIONS and how to make shot corrections.......
This is easy if you only have 1 rifle, and Jeff Cooper famously once wrote 'fear the man who only owns 1 gun' for he will know how to shoot it, and do it well!!...... if you have several rifles then you need to know them all, intimatly,.....
You should know, without thinking about it, where your shot is gong to fall for any given distance, using your most regularly used ammo.
I'm going to presume to assume that most people here are using Kentucky windage as their method of putting a shot on target when the wind is a tad on the strong side.....
Thats all hunky dory until you have to lead so far the target is no-longer in the scopes veiw.....
Now its time to start thinking of the hop unit as not just a method of giving your shiney ball abit of lift....
Tilt your rifle into the wind, how much depends on how strong the wind is, and this can only be learnt by getting out there and practicing.
Anywhere from just past up-right out to about 45 degrees will serve you well, I have gone past 45 degrees on very rare occassions but that was trying to counter a reeeaallly strong gust, and even then I missed, so waited till the gust died and carried on.
There you go..... how to shoot an airsoft rifle in the wind!!
Now go practice
