    Advanced Marksmanship How do you calculate wind correction without a ballistic calculator?

    Well....not sure what to say. As a young man in basic, it never crossed my mind to think our instructors were wrong - Assholes, but not wrong. Can I assume they've come around and are training modern day troops more accurately?

    Advanced Marksmanship How do you calculate wind correction without a ballistic calculator?

    Tried posting this earlier, but it didnt post for some reason. Ok first, I'm certainly not here to argue nor am I one to absolutely insist I'm right (usually).
