That's encouraging to hear. If I do too poorly I'll just blame the scope. 😄
And I really don't have a plan for wind. Just try to shoot more and see what happens.

Follow up question: Do you always practice with the same ammo you use for hunting? I bought some Hornady EL-X rounds, would you...

I've paddled a small handful of canoes and the Clipper Tripper is my favorite as far as tracking and weight go. Haven't paddled a Wenonah but I hear they're pretty equal to the Clipper. If you're going to be in any rough windy open water or rivers I would lean toward a kayak for the stability...
