discovered that one of our best pd ranches had been sold. That was bad enough, but seems the new owner didn't welcome pd shooters. Our other "best" ranch was wet from recent rains, and his ranch was out of bounds for several days. Luckily, our guide had been doing his homework, and had located several new ranches.
This ranch was pretty productive, but the rain also put a lot of the best shooting areas out of reach. We always expect wind in Montana, and in most cases, can be dealt with. This year, we were met with shifting winds and wind gusts, apparently from passing storms. Unfortunately, I didn't read the manual on shooting in wind gusts, so my accuracy suffered! The lasts two days were really disappointing, the wind was not our friend.
Luckily, we had a range rignt by our lodge, and here I am checking zero on my Cooper Varminter...204 of course!
I did manage to get a few hours of decent shooting, and made shots of 461 yds and 472 yds with the .204. After the weeks shooting, my Varminter clicked over 2400 rounds, and the Phoenix 1600.
This was one of the beautiful sunsets we had in big sky country.
