We had 80 sustained, 95+ gusts all weekend.
I didn't want to be outside for fear of being hit with flying debris.
There are 22 overturned semis last I looked. Caught a mobile home parade and dumped them all in the ditch. Looks like a tornado deposited a brand new shrink wrapped park in the ditches.

That’s the kind of wind that takes some extra elevation as well
Can you even spot impacts in that?
Creedmoor has half the wind drift of creedmoore.
A 260 isn’t fazed until 90+,

Be careful that much wind could cause you to shoot your self in the butt.
Yes
Just give 'er a Kansas Nudge.
Right? It’s like he can’t read flying cows or F150’s.
This is when "Kentucky Windage" means the unit of angular measurement is equal to the width of the state of Kentucky.
lol shooting in a huricane sounds fun what a f ed up way to learn to make wind calls . you can do it send video's of your hits vrs misses .
The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale)

Turn your scope 90 degrees in the mount for maximum windage adjustment.

My little windmate read 110mph no problem. It was behind the fan on my a10 ducted fan rc jet. 90mph should be a beeeze for a kestrel
I'd love to be there and try that....what a hoot. Please update with the days experience.
90mph...Wyoming recorded 150+mph north of Cheyenne between Chugwater and Wheatland over the weekend and there wasn't a tornado.
Hang on to your man bun ..... you are probably going to get greater satisfaction trying to hit a cow in the ass with a banjo
There are hills near Wichita. When our son was stationed at MCConnel, I remember riding downhill on my bike and actually slowing down do to the strength of the wind.
I used to live there. Learned to shoot beyond 100 yards at the Hutchinson Gun Club with a NM AR-15 when I took op NRA/CMP Service Rifle.
Yep, perfect when trying to hide the broadside of a barn.
Hell yeah!!
Fukkin ELR targets.
I use only when shooting on Alpha Centauri.
Youll be using full Radians and Degrees.
Well boys, got the pickup loaded up and headed out to the range. Zero visibility. So no new update sadly. I was ready to turn my scope 90 degrees so i could have more windage.
Gusting past 90mph here right now. Sustained winds of 40-50mph
Moving targets
HMFIC's balls are so big... they barely sway in the breeze in that video.
It’s heading my way, they issued a severe thunderstorm watch with a tornado watch just west of here. I’ve seen 80 degrees, tornado watches, and snow in 24 hours before, welcome to Kansas, and no it’s not F&$king global warming!
Damn didn’t realize we had so many Kansas folk here. Wind was a bitch today. Saved two barns on the farm with the weight of the loader tractor and some 8” screws. All in a days work in Kansas. Tomorrow might be t-shirt weather or a blizzard. Who knows
That "Trusty 6.5 creedmoore" (sic).
With fully loaded ammo prices so high
and with all the illegals providing so much cheap unskilled labor these days, I just hire one to run the 1000 yards and push my bullet through the target with a hammer.
I stopped missing the target, and stopped shooting other peoples targets @forrestgump01
It's actually cheaper this way
In strong winds I might send two illegals in case one blows away...

In 2001 I did a late winter roundup of bred cows in western Kansas. It got really bad the afternoon. We left the herd corralled up and rode it out in our trucks. The next day we drove out to the interstate which was blocked by drifts of dirt two feet high covered with snow.
We thought it was bad, but an old timer told us stories his grandfather told him about the 1880s. Imagine these winds but is well below zero. And storms like this every week.
