What barrel are you shooting on you Ghost? Good shooting considering the Wind factor

Got out today to throw some more 50’s the polish helped i think they were a little more consistent but the wind was mostly coming from the same direction. Couple pics of where i shoot.

If you notice the flags 1 is pointing right to left about 5 mph the other is pointing almost at the camera why its tough to read here

 

[duchunter007]

That's a cool range you have, wind is such a funny thing, at my club it will be a left to right wind at the muzzle and a left to right at fifty yards out and hardly blowing at a 100 sometimes!

Groups look good!

Looks like a great place to shoot. Were you experiencing some rear sag on the table?

Yea that and having trouble getting it to the same height all the time that helps with both

This thread is getting good. And the progression of picks is decent.
I can not wait for the summer to get here so I can participate too.

Did a quick and dirty last weekend, forgot to post it here!
Breeze was at my back pushing towards the target. 5 groups of 5 shooting the Ghost and regular Mrds. It probably will do better with the deeps, but I gotta burn through these too
I was VERY impressed with the groups; small to big i got: 1 1/2", 1 5/8", 1 9/16", and 1 15/16" so all under 2 inches with the new Helix Gen2. And alot the groups were tighter but one would walk away from the main group a little.
Sadly I also found out the parralax numbers are badly off vs actual distances. Not good as I use it to range find my pests and hold over from there!

Dan if you change the ocular you change where the distances land. Don’t know if you knew that

Ive never heard that before?!?! Are you referring to the ocular adjustment to get the view clear to your eye? If that the case you are saying somehow miraculously I got my 2 Hawkes, Helix gen1, and Athlon Midas Tac scopes, bang on just by chance? They are all accurate with their parralax adjustments.
Whatever the case i bought 2 of these same scopes on the same day, one is going on my brothers .308 rifle and mine is on my ghost, I can test them against each other for sure...
