DEALING WITH THE WIND PART 5
the harder you work the luckier you get. Wind judging ability comes from experience, lots of it, under as many different conditions on as many different ranges as possible. If you are shooting ammunition with a built-in two-minute error, how on earth are you going to be able to know whether a wild shot or indeed one in the middle of the V bull is there because your wind judgement was wrong (or right)?
Take the example of shot 6 in fig. 6 and assume that as well as being 2¼ tall the group was also 2¼ minutes wide. If my judgement was right but the shot fell on the edge of its group, it could equally easily have been a wide ‘inner’ out the other side. Or conversely, if my judgement was really 1½ minutes adrift and the actual position of shot 6 is in the centre of the group it could easily have been a left handed V bull.
In other words getting an inner or a V bull is nothing to with skill - it is merely an act of chance and that is why you should never compromise on your ammunition quality even when practising because if you do, you will learn nothing. It is a common practice for clubs to issue inferior ammunition to beginners on the grounds that cost is more important whilst they are in the learning stages. That may be fine for the first couple of sessions but as soon as the basics are learnt the beginner should be shooting good ammunition.
Finally, remember what we are doing is centring the group based on the developing plot, not ‘error chasing’ by correcting on individual shots.
At the risk of repetition, the importance of being able to plot corrected elevations quickly and accurately cannot be overemphasised.
