Great report daddy! I find it really interesting to read Tubbs' techniques and mindset on how he shoots matches, and watching the wind flags through the spotter was one of the big things he seemed to point out, while other shooters make the mistakes of keeping records of how they shot, rather than preparing for the next one. I bet some turret decals with your dope would help out a lot, with a temp card as a secondary resource to reference and adjust from if significant differences in temps were present. Other than that, watching the scope and winds is what makes and breaks guys in long-range comps, from what I've seen. The really patient guys who know their rifles and what their bullets do at distance, and watch the conditions like a hawk. I've made the mistake in practical matches with my partner of trying to run and gun certain long-range stages, that we really should have been more patient and observant on.
