Update....I won the damn thing by one point. High winds swirling between the 100 and 200 yard berms. I got lucky. Just proves it is anyone's game in those conditions. There were at least four National ranked shooters in the field of 30. I drew first number and got to go first. The wind got worse as the day went on. I practiced Friday and Saturday and went home and weighed out ammo. The wind was about 20mph out of the NW with some gusts. I got lucky. Thanks for all the advice. I have bragging rights for the next two weeks.

congrats brother

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Shooting first was the smart choice due to the crazy wind conditions. Keep practicing especially in the nasty wind conditions as it will only make you better. Are wind flags allowed ? If so, shoot over wind flags and learn to read the mirage through your scope. Many times, the shooter who can read the wind the best will end up the winner.
