LC, I think we've all btdt that. No flame intended at all.
Just some comments.
IMHO the weekend warriors are still much more dangerous blasting away with bore sighted guns at 100-200 yards as to wounding and not recovering, but OTOH thats not the topic at hand.
Wind, is very tricky. Its much easier if you know how and waht to look for. That starts by direction of wind currents and lay of the land as to where to start looking for the OMG issues.
We never shot 1000 without sighters but I shot a lot of matches from 200-600 where you got no sighters, some of it 10 shots rapid fire at one time, where you didn't make 1 mistake without correcting, you were making a full 10 shot group without knowing.
From that you finally realized standing somewhere and putting a Kestrel up, wasn't the complete answer some days. Some days it was.
