[QUOTE="406precision, post: 905061, member: 69335"] The wind is the most important and also the hardest area to teach. Thing about the wind is that it literally takes 1000 of rounds down range and keeping detailed records of those rounds to learn enough to matter, and about the time you think you have it down the wind will go ahead and make a fool out of you. We try to incorporate mirage, vegitation, wind flags, wind meters and anything else we can get our hands on....lol How about wind gradient??? We like to let a helium ballon go at the shooting position and then watch the results and then explain thats what your bullets flying through on the way there.... !!!! Just spent 2 and a 1/2 days in a coyote derby where the wind was blowing 30-60 miles an hour even the coyotes stayed home!!!LOL The best way to get better at shooting in the wind is to shoot in the wind....but if you don't keep an accurate log book of the shots fired and where they ended up your just burning powder to burn powder. We try and give our students as much documentation and tips as we can, but the biggest variable we deal with is the wind for sure. [/QUOTE]
