Not near -25 though.I was the only one there.I have also went when the wind was 25-30 mph.  Friends told me it was a horrible day to go shooting. Yea I hunt in the wind so there is that.I have a couple places I can shoot over 1000 yards and it has the hills.400 yards was easy with both .308 and 30-06.Then 700 yards from peak to peak provided 2 foot groups if we were lucky for either rifle.When we walked down the valley we were hit with wind at our back and going up the other side wind from the left and right of us and then wind blowing in our faces before we reached the peak of the next hill where we had targets set up.Swirling unpredictable winds with nothing to tell us which way it was  blowing.  Just rocks and dirt.It will humble you.It will also make you rethink about being a sniper on a far away critter.I like to hunt and get in closer whenever it is possible.I have slowly belly crawled many times to get in really close to what I want to shoot.</blockquote>
