@gonzav Thanks as always for the report, Leo. And thanks so much for Ron and family for set up and hosting. It was great seeing the big crowd, and getting another chance to anticipate that field's wind. I really appreciate shooting there!
I'm looking forward to finally shooting at Rockville next month.
Just added two scope cam videos made by Ron C from NH to the OneDrive site.
@gonzav Those are cool to see. Thanks Ron. I especially like seeing the difference of wind effect between the two shots on the far boar in the first video. The wind was tricky!
