Wild River Air Rifle - USARB Report Outdoor July 24, 2013
Interesting conditions today. High humidity and heat had strange effects on pellets when the wind wasn’t blowing.
Lots of unexplained 12 o’clock high hits out of the ten ring.

Interesting you should say that Mike, we are finding it the same over here under what sound like similar conditions (77F + and 87% + humidity)

On the other hand the rimfire scores are some of the highest we have seen in the UK, with the same conditions and from several shooters.

Don’t think I’ll ever understand this game
