Fish bowl ranges
« on: December 23, 2012, 10:52:29 AM »
 Ranges that are enclosed by dirt walls or trees usually are called fish bowl ranges and create some highly improbable wind patterns across the field. This is becoming more and more the norm because of more and more restrictions on rifle ranges as time goes.
 What do you do when all the flags in front of you never settle into a pattern but are doing all different things at different velocities? How successful were you using the technique or pattern you look for? Do you run them or pick?

 Well, I know there are more successful shooters than I at this type of shooting. I will tell of a few things I have observed.
1) Usually the first 30 yds the wind direction is the most important
2) mirage is very helpful in reading the last 30 yds
3) sometimes their is one predominant flag and it is the one you mainly have to watch.
 With everything you have to take the into account the way things are laid out such as berms, lanes and tree density etc.
