[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 771502, member: 30902"] Man that's great. Contrats for you both. The more long range shooting you do the more you will learn just how right you are about the wind being the biggest thing to overcome. Fortunately the more long range shooting you do in varied locations, conditions etc the better you will become at coming up with good wind corrections. The hardest part to deal with is the fact that often the wind will vary in direction, rise/fall, and velocity at several different points during the bullets flight. All the fancy gear in the world will not solve that issue for you. It just takes practice until you get "the feel for it". I try to keep it simple and just come up with an average velocity and % affect due to angle and have done pretty well with it. I've also been shooting in lots of wind since I was a kid and even with many thousands of rounds down range in the wind some days I flat miss a read and end up scratching my head. Congrats again, you're off to a great start. [/QUOTE]
