My son challenged me today to 10 shots at 50 yards, in the wind. He is 13 and is a great shot with anything from an airsoft gun to an M1 Garand and everything in between.
I was shooting an RWS, he was shooting a Crossman. We both used Crossman Premier pellets. The wind was right to left 10-15 MPH. As such, we both had a flyer or two to the left.
If you ever shot .177's in the wind, you know the grouping can be all over the place. His scope was high on elevation. Safe to say if scope elevation had been lower, he would have kicked my butt. He's the top target, I'm the bottom. I consider he won based on grouping.
Tomorrow if the winds settles down, we are going to try this at 100 yards.
