From the book "The Queens Prize" This excerpt was pinched from a post on the Aussie forum, I hope the OP will not mind me reproducing it here.
" A steady breeze which occasionally whipped up into a wind of some thirty m.p.h. also caused grumblings among the riflemen. "not that grumbling is an unusual trait in the character of a rifle shot", sniffed the Daily News, "as no matter how favourable the elements be, there is bound to be some man who will lay the blame of a poor performance , not on himself but on one of the many varieties of atmospherical conditions which are apparently only known to shooting men"
BISLEY 1897
As if any self respecting shooter would do such a thing.....

We were shooting side by side one day in evil wind at either 800 or 1000 and I was struggling, really struggling. She was mostly laughing and was well on the black as well so I stupidly asked where she was aiming, the reply was in the three ring or similar which confused the hell out of me as I was dialling in more windage by the shot.
Then she admitted she was aiming at the target 4 to get on 5........... she was aiming a whole frame off!
