[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1472484, member: 101859"] Wind reading is another subject but is probably the most critical aspect of a long shot and theres no substitute for thousands of rounds down range. F-class is a great way to get better at wind calls as the target is marked every shot so you get immediate feedback on where the bullet landed in that condition. This is not a skill that can every be truly mastered and even the best get humbled. The problem is no one can see all the wind between you and the target. Mirage is the best way to read wind in the field, can you sit down with a scope and look at it and know its a 3 moa value? That takes years to get a handle on. The challenge is why so many of us get hooked on the competition side of LR shooting. If you cant shoot at long range you'll never learn how to read wind at long range. Thats just a fact. My favorite way to learn wind is to have a shooter aim where you tell them to. You get to focus on the wind and where the shot goes 100% without having to think about shooting. [/QUOTE]
