Don.
The way the wind was blowing that day Carol looks like a cut from a Old War movie when the Germans fired that big rail gun bertha the way her hair is blowing back I saw a movie cut of that gun going off and the blast pulled a bunch of air with it.
Later that night the wind really came up and blew this camper over with Jeff and Wendy in it.

Wow Kurt, where I come from we just don't have that sort of wind. How hard was it blowing to do that!?
Chris.
RE: Dont - Kurt - 12-04-2014
I don't know Chris. I was in that Raptor in the back ground and I didn't notice much going on when it came up during the night. We where behind some cedars that blocked the wind.
RE: Dont - Don McDowell - 12-04-2014
I'ld really like to see a bptr match at Alliance. I'm pretty sure with the winds the way they are, there would be large helpings of humblepie consumed at the end of the day..
RE: Dont - Kurt - 12-04-2014
I don't know which range is more challenging Alliance or Baker
RE: Dont - Gunlaker - 12-04-2014
We just bought ourselves a gypsy wagon so I can head down south and shoot some of your American matches. I don't know what my wife would say if her beautiful new trailer got tipped over by the wind :-). I guess with enough lead "ballast" maybe it would be ok :- :-)

Alliance, I think would be the most challenging, as there are twice as many targets during a match, and the distances are mostly further, coupled with most of the targets are out there where the wind flags seldom point the same direction. Altho with the way those trees have grown up along the west edge of the Hoffland, they are making some really interesting wind currents on the 435 and 500 yd targets that weren't a problem before.
But be that as it may with Alliances target pits where they are, that would be one heck of a challenging target match.
