Our local club, Bayou Rifles will be holding a one day class with introduction to NRA Highpower (including F-class) competition in the morning and then a wind reading clinic in the afternoon. Also, the next day, Sunday, May 4th, you can take part in the monthly 1000 yard match.

Bump for update.

This will be the only bump. The class is filling up quickly and we are now thinking of putting a limit. We're getting people from all over Texas. It's going to be fun.

Good to hear of these types of clinics.

Too bad you are 540 miles / 8+ hours from the ole homestead.

No matter the skill level good information can always be obtained from these events.

Thanks Bayou Rifles.

Man, I can't see 1000 yards, much less responsibly shoot that far, LOL! But seriously, I'm not planning on taking up Highpower, but I would love to sit in on that wind doping class. But even though I'm close enough to you to do it, I'll be out of the country for a few weeks at that time.

Yep, they be a lot of Real Estate here in Texas. I don't know where you are Magnut, but when you think it is about 900 miles from Orange to El Paso in almost a straight line it's not hard to imagine you being 540 miles from Houston.

But seriously, wind doping is a skill that everyone that shoots a rifle needs. From 100 yard shots,. to way out yonder in Ernieville, somedays wind will make you or break you.

I don't do any formal or long target shooting but I love to hunt and most of the time I try to limit my shots to 300 yards. But, Now and Then, you have that trophy step out of the trees at 400+ yards and if you know how to read the wind you have a much better chance of making the shot. I wish I was going to be around for this class because I think I would make the effort. Whenever your club has another one of these Pegasus, please inform us. If I'm not engaged in something else I will make it.

Sorry to hear you can't make it. I suspect this will become a yearly event, so check that website every few months.

I took a wind doping class in the 80s, it was probably the most useful class I ever took, not only for comp. shooting, but for hunting also.
