[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 903578, member: 30902"] Wind, Wind, Wind, and when you get through with everything else Wind. Everything else can be handled with technology, familiarization, reading, and basic riflemanship. Look at all the discussions we have on the subject right here amongst a great many rather accomplished and experienced long range shooters. With your video equipment and terrain for example you can show people how to read the wind downrange and explain how terrain affects the wind. How a headwind can also be a rising wind which adds lift to your bullett and a downslope wind can increase your drop. How wind follows draws and coulees so that what is a headwind at the shooters location may be a crossing wind that changes direction two or three times between the shooter and target. How wind direction may remain constant all the way to the target but velocity can be different at different points along the path. And of course how to use the natural cues downrange to read these conditions and how to correct for them.... . I've been in some places both here and abroad where the wind can do absolutely crazy things. Out of everything we deal with, the wind is the toughest of all. [/QUOTE]
