| I took my new DPMS out for the 2nd time today. Last time I took it out, I sighted it in at 50 yards and it was pretty much dead-on with no wind at all. Between range trips, I had it out a few times and flipped my UTG rear sight up and down a couple times but never touched the windage adjustments. I took it out today and it was about 2-3 inches left at 100 yards. The wind was blowing pretty hard, maybe 20 mph from right to left. I was shooting 55 grain reloads. What should I blame: wind, crappy rear sight, or the fact that I only sighted it in at 50 yards the first time? |

There is nothing that flys that isn't affected by wind, gravity, elevation, etc. The list goes on and on, and is long.
That's just a few factors in becoming a marksman. If you shoot 100 yards or less this is not a real consideration, unless you shoot a .22 LR. 458 |
