[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 3118519, member: 7292"] My savage is a short barrel, 18” I think? 1086 was about max for this gun. I let him “figure it out”. It was fun to see him hit the dirt right of the target consistently (because dad made a bad initial wind call!!) but I let him just keep shooting. Not only did he figure out the wind call was wrong and correct for it but even his misses got tighter and tighter as he learned to read the wind. I did coach him a little about reading the wind, not only where we are sitting but between us and the target too. But still, just seeing that develop in a 9 y/o over the course of a couple hours and maybe 80-100 shots was really cool. [/QUOTE]
