Made a few modifications to my wind socks that some of you showed a past interest in. Changed the socks from white to black and allot easier to see. I also attached them to the back of my vanes to keep them from wrapping around my flag stands. Hard to see but they are very balanced with a weight out front of the vans. They also have ball joints and bubble levels installed for leveling out at the range. To date these new changes have worked out extremely well for myself and will probably be my last. All 4 are very easily stored in a pistol hard case. The Sox's are easily removed and reinstalled and they stored under the foam liner for protection. All the vanes are then placed on top of the foam and the case closed keeping everything in its proper place.

I have a simple windsock mid range, and a traditional vane, daisy wheel with tails fore and aft. The sock catches more major wind shift and direction, the others minor. But, as Bob Dylan once penned, You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but it sure helps, and I am sure he was not looking at it from a target rifleman's viewpoint!!!

Daves windsock design worked well at Stars and Stripes. Kinda looks like a pink pantyhose in pic...Dave?

Pete & Jack:

Never wear them out in public  - become windsocks when you pick up a run - particularly when you do not shave your legs.
You guys going to post the scores from Tommy's Shoot?

Dave

I pick up tripods at garage sales.
Real cheap when part of the mounting bracket is broken - or people are dumping them since they now use their phone's camera.
You need a real cheap source of tripods since California Bruce is able to hit the closer tripods instead of the targets.

Sorry to hear you were coughing it up Jack.
At least with the bad ear you did not have to hear complaints or political views.
Of course Joe would be shooting Federal Bulk rimfire ammo.
Usually Bruce & Annette do great on rimfire shooting Eley Black Box.

Annette Kirby has always been a very good rimfire match competitor. I heard she shot at least one 250 but I am also not sure in which match. Hopefully someone here can post all of the scores for both of the ISSA Regionals and the Stars and Stripe match.

Thank you Jack !!
