Wind and the KraftNomicon
Wind speed and direction can throw off a shot, but with the right terms and process, you can adjust for it effectively.

Nightforce ELR as a first time competitor
When people discover my interest in long-range shooting, Extreme Long Range (ELR) often comes to mind. They frequently ask how far I shoot and what caliber I use. Beyond these common questions, there’s often curiosity about how to manage factors like heartbeat and the Earth’s rotation, likely influenced by portrayals in movies or books. ELR …
