Then I decided to try zeroing the Aresnal SLG95 at 25, then see how it would do at about 100, I was shooting off the back of my truck (it has a hard tonneau cover) I was able to squeeze off a few rounds between gusts ... And was pretty happy with the results; it was my last 5 rounds, 2 to the "head" 3 center of mass ... with the 3x scope I couldn't even see if I'd hit the target until I went down to retrieve it.
LOL, thats a hilarious first pic. Glad you made it out there though! Always a good time shooting out at the farm!
It was fun but after only about 2 hours, I just felt beat up!
Nice AK. I’ve had the same wind problems last few trips to the range. Might as well make a kite target.
Seems familiar to my neck of the woods/prairie. Where I can see a two 50-ish tower wind farms from my range.
A couple of weeks ago I had to time my rifle shots with how the wind was swinging 3/8" thick 12" plates. The wind moved the plates more than impacts with my 308.
Didn’t you see that Angelina Jolie movie? Just put some English on it and make the bullet curve.
Same wind issues here the last week plus though. Tired of hearing my roof rattle.
Tired of the roof rattling and the flue in the fireplace squeaking here too!
The SLR 95 has to be one of if not the best operating AK rifles on the market. It's a shame that they have to come in as sporters.
"The wind moved the plates more than impacts with my 308."
"Snow likely, mainly after 5pm. Cloudy, with a temperature falling to around 28 by 5pm. Very windy, with a north wind 37 to 41 mph, with gusts as high as 55 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible."
I won't be shooting there today. I doubt the neighbors will be outside today, either. I wish I could judge distances better on the prairie. One row of wind turbines might be a 5-ish miles away -- the towers are naked eye visible in clear air. The other row is further away and requires magnified optics to see. But both are clearly visible at night, due to the blinking warning lights on the towers.
