The wind came up hard and early and stayed that way for the day.  Everyone shot and regarded it as a practice. Editorial Note: Bob makes it sound worse than it actually was 🙂 The wind was extremely challenging, but we used the opportunity to practice wind reading skills by discussing what conditions we saw […]
The wind held off for five shots of the very first string of the day and then came up hard and stayed for the rest of the match. At times it looked like the wind may drop to nothing but it was illusion as it almost dropped but then came back. The drop offs and […]
It was raining at the beginning of the match so there was a delay of about an hour before shooting could begin. The rain stopped but the wind came up gradually and was switching in the middle and full strength at the end of the match. Â It also started raining at the completion of shooting. […]
The day started with the wind dropping and it looked like a nice day although a little cool. The good weather lasted only for the very first target of the day and then the wind started building and turned into a typical spring day at the range. The wind built, then dropped, then switched in […]
A cool, clear fall day with a light wind that dropped and tried to come back and never did. What remained could put a shot out of the ten ring if attention wasn’t wandering. There was a work party in the pits so some shooters cut it short to help out. F/TR F Open Palma […]
A cool, clear fall day that started with no wind and then had a 5 mph wind that occasionally gusted to 10 mph. The real problem was the let offs and angle changes that were challenging to keep up with. Missing the changes would move shots from the center to the edge of the frame. […]
The day was clear and very hot with very light winds.  The mirage changed from clear to blurry and switched.  It was the only way to detect changes. These conditions combined to give great variability shot to shot.  The first two relays didn’t have much variability but it was still tricky depending on the timing, […]
The day was clear and hot with light winds that built and let off and changed direction. The mirage changed from clear to blurry and back again. These conditions combined to give great variability shot to shot. The great variability really didn’t make sense looking at the flags. Intense concentration was needed to keep them […]
The day started with no wind and everyone had one good target before things change. The winds were light, 5 mph±, and variable with the key being variable. It kept dropping off then building back to what it was before accompanied with angle changes. Changes could be seen, but how much it was worth was […]
The day started with expectations of good scores due to the flags hanging straight down. That feeling was maintained until the fifth shot of the first relay and things went downhill as the wind came up from the west dropped, reversed and came from the east. The wind was 8-12 mph with gusts to 17 […]
