Wind wears me out, P-10F at 100 yards on Sunday
« on: June 07, 2021, 08:16:56 AM »
I struggled last week with my new over engineered, very sturdy wrist rest.  I simply couldn't eliminate some jerkiness while lining up the dot on the 100 yard target.  20 mph winds in the forecast for Sunday morning, I decided it may not be a day for small groups, but might be good for experimenting.  So, I went back to the 4x4 with a full 9mm ammo box and a microfiber towel for the Sunday shoot.  This actually worked out pretty well, see the video below.  I didn't edit out the time between shots so you could enjoy the wind as much as I did!

So, we are back to the flexibly ammo box wrist rest for now. 

The other thing I learned is that the high wind just wears me out mentally.  I shot a few more rounds after the targets in the video, but with less than good results.  I even tried the P-10S.  10 rounds and I called it quits.  I was whipped from chasing stuff that flew off, making sure the cameras didn't get blown over, and chasing paper targets.  Would have been a good day for steel, assuming I could make the wind calls.  That is a big assumption, so I skipped that potential ammo waster also and went home. 

As usual, the P-10F+sight+ammo all performed perfectly.  Shooter needs work.

This is fun most of the time.  This isn't easy, that's for sure.
