I think that wind shooting is fun, although it seems that birds often want to dip or rise just as I pull the trigger giving me a miss. On more than one occasion we had at our club such strong wind blowing toward the low house that the low bird would rise and stop in mid air before it got to the high house and then blow back toward the low house. Honestly, I am not kidding!

We shoot wobble skeet in the wind and that’s a real hoot!

In 1980, the National Gun Club held a skeet Tournament in San Antonio known as the Roadrunner 400. It was in March and the sustained winds were over 35 mph with gusts of over 45 mph. Among the 97 contestants Tony West NSSA 1984 Hall of Fame won the two day event breaking 396/400. Tony was the only shooter to shoot 100/100 in the .410 event. Robert Paxton won the 20 ga event and Tito Killian won the 28 ga event. Tony later said that his secret was to hold close to the house and break the bird immediately before the wind had a chance. I guess that's how you defeat the wind!

I'm sorry, but I just can't do that!!
