Learning to dope the wind

To shoot good at 200

I’m extremely blessed by my location out here in Midland/Odessa TX. There are so many successful shooters in the area all more than willing to share their vast experiences and knowledge. These guys practice 80% of the time at 200 yards. We use a couple probes mixed in with a set of flags, (we always have winds) and every group is a mini match against each other. It’s practice, practice, practice until you have the confidence in your ability to agg as good as anyone at 200 yards.

Yep... Midland is a great place to learn how to dope the wind. I will never forget, the first time I saw Midland was in 1973. Flew out there with a Co-worker Pilot in a company owned Cessna 182. We landed at the airport in some of that bad ass West Texas wind. Scared the crap out a me. Good thing I brought a change of underwear

My friend was suppose to be a hot shot pilot, but I never flew anywhere with him again. If you really want to test your wind doping skills, plan on attending a match at the Midland,Tx range.
