    Done a heap of kayaking and agree with the water moving bit completely.

    I only know 1 LR shooter (7mmSAUM) and the thing that strikes me is the amount of practise that goes into learning the effect of wind properly from small calibres to big calibres ie getting the theory bit right and backing it up with thousands of rounds in all conditions and ranges...It's hard to get competent part time.
