Would the wind today affect siting in a gun very much? I wouldn’t think 50-100 yards would make a ton of difference but wanted to be sure.

Just point it at them, they will roll over and die. No need to sight that weapon in
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

I would think the wind could make a little difference when siting in a gun.....especially if your siting in past 100yds er so.....

If you can get the wind to your back it won’t affect it very much. Even with a 10-15 mph cross wind it won’t shift impact but a couple of inches at 50-100 yds.

100 or less shld be fine. I wouldn’t (try to) tune it at 300 in these conditions.

If you are just siting, sighting, in to get it on paper to hunt this weekend, I think it would be fine. However, if you are trying to get a true idea of what the gun will do, I would wait.

Ok. Ammo says 1.8 inches high at 100 is dead on at 200. If I do 50 yards should it be dead on or just a little low? Would it still be rising at 50 yards some? And I got 2 dif ammo. Hornady American whitetail 129 grain interlock. And Norma match 130 grain hpbt. Which ammo y’all prefer out of those 2. All I could get ahold of.

All you can is shoot it and find out. I never trust a manufacturer on trajectory and damn sure dont trust them on fps...

Thinking if it blows it even half an inch at 100 could be a few inches off at 300. In a 20mph cross wind it’ll drift 1.5’’ or so@ 100yds 12.5’’@300yds. That’s on a 100yd zero.

We always started at 25 yards. If you zero the scope at 25 yards, most deer cartridges will be 1.5 to 2 inches high at 100 and close to dead on at 200. Full disclosure, most of our hunting then was in thicker cover, very few shots over about 150 yards.

I would go ahead and site it in. Its not going to make a big difference at 100yds. Check it later when the winds not blowing.

I don’t hunt on the wind much. Seems like deer lay down around here when wind it up. Never seen much.

I shoot 6.5 mm Hornaday Precision Hunter 143 gr ammo. I found it to be a better fit for my Thompson Center Compass. Deadly accurate. The Hornaday Whitetail just wasn't as accurate for my rifle.
