The guys that actually ranged it correctly shot low because they let their ammo get cold, it was about 21 degrees and warmed to a rousing 24 degrees by end of the event. Those that ranged and kept their ammo warm, missed due to the fact they saw a right to left wind and "felt" an eight to ten mph wind on their face. Problem was the wind was of little value down there and the 10 mph wind felt was actually a 2 - 3 mph "effective" wind. A number ran out of time by not assessing the situation before starting and then losing sequence and thus time.

THAT is some PH.D-level marksmanship discussion. I hope the young guys pay attention when longrange types.
