with nerves, breathing heavy and adrenalin, getting windage close. it is a different game. All bets are off.

Per an earlier post, I think the shot was rushed when the local cop spotted him, so yes, that probably upset his game. Windage is not significant at that short distance, unless its really howling, which it didnt look like it to me. I usually am not even thinking about windage inside of 300 yards unless its steady and over 15mph. And I will admit that I am not an expert at reading windage anyway. On 300 yards and longer, I usually account for spin drift and otherwise ignore winds. For me this has been more successful than trying to factor in wind.

Agreed overall.. But, if it was a .22, I would likely give it a little bit of right/ left tweak.

And we don’t know. But if using a can and subsonic, that might influence as well.
