windshear during go around?

It has happened before (july 2 1994, KCLT USA).

I think it is safe to assume the wx was worse than the METAR indicates.

That a go around is almost always the safest course of action.

But if windshear is encountered as the plane is being configured for go around, how ready would any pilot really be?
