Wind was ridiculous. Gusting up to 40mph winds. Didn't weathercock as much as originally thought. Harsh deployment yet the shock cord seem to withstand it. The wind took it down field about 3/4 mile. It was found near the property line next to some trees. All intact. Duration must have been a couple of minutes long. We're luck to get this one back.
