As we set up range for round 4 it was relatively mild, 7°C, sunny and still. By the time the first detail started a chaotic wind had arrived and the flags were flying in all directions (a scene not help by the excessive number of wind flags which have been deployed to deter the Badgers from rooting up the range floor – they are about as effective in that role as they are in indicating the wind to the shooter); it remained sunny. By the second detail started the sun had disappeared, leaving a grey sky. Luckily, throughout the shoot the wind was so chaotic that it appeared to be having little effect on the fall of shot.
