Trying to shoot consistent precision groups with. 22LR on a windy day is a futile pursuit at best. Those groups mean nothing and are not indicative of what your combo is capable of. Wait for calm day.
Edited to add that if your gal is to just burn Ammo for fun then by all means blast away, but don’t make the mistake of thinking you are shooting anywhere near what the rifle/scope/Ammo combo is capable of.
And some days it pays to use wind flags. (Digital Dan)
This was discussed at length in a recent thread here.
In our state senior games, Rimfire Benchrest at 50 yards is 12 targets with 25 bulls each for a total of 300 shots for a possible total of 3000 points. One shooter has shot a perfect 3000 three years in a row. That means he's never missed the half inch 10 ring in 900 consecutive shots. This year he shot 80 Xs. That means taking out the pin head center completely. His rifle is custom and he told me he shoots Center-X ammo.
He uses five wind flags.The guy is a retired SWAT officer. Who says cops can't shoot?
