As a rule over the past 4 years my distances have dropped due to several factors, but prior to lockdown I was extremely shocked by just how much.
Now I’m not taking the full blame here as it was 1* with what XC weather said was a steady 15-17mph cold cross wind that was slightly into. The shock come from a well struck 6irob carrying 135-140, with a couple hitting 145 carry.
During the summer months I would expect a carry of 160-165 so this is equating to a rough drop of 25-30 yards, around 18%
Out of interest do people have a rule of thumb for calculating reduced winter distances. IE standard carry distances based on 20*, 5% off for every 5* below?
Note, fully expecting stick for weak distances but this is a work in progress.
