    What is your wind philosophy?

    There are about as many ways of choosing your wind hold as there are shooters, however I’m really curious about peoples fundamental elements that guide the decision. For example, do you measure speed with a device? Measure angle with a technique? I would call this wind math. Another side is a...

    Wind and Hard data comparisons

    To accompany data collection like Franks Weaponized Math we have been collecting real world wind drift data as part of the process. Shooting a fixed distance and similar aim point allows us to see the actual drift differences and then better cross reference impact data down the road. Check this...

    Range Report A Beginner's Journey to Shooting the Breeze

    Thought I would start a thread to help others as they get into long range shooting and document what I've learned (very basic to this point). Hopefully this evolves into something more but I can't guarantee that! Would love to have any additional input from others along the way since I'm far...

    Range Report Wind and the SMK 175

    Just a general question here, what's the most windage you have ever had to apply at 1000 yds with a SMK 175? While I was at Sniper School, I remember using 4.5 mils right on the UKD range (wind was absolutely horrible) at, IIRC, roughly 950 yds. I ask this because I'm considering buying a USO...

    Was just curious...but would taking some marking tape and adding weight to the end of it just enough to be distinguishable from a 5-10 mph wind and then using a kestrel to measure what the angle is at different speeds. Then sticking it downrange while also looking at the mirage and surrounding...

    Range Report Wind at 200 yards?

    I was shooting today at 200-250yds with my 700P, having no working knowledge of ballistics (yet) I noticed some of my shots (.308, 168gr FGGM) were WAY off target at this close range, there was a sustained wind of 18-27mph on the range, could this wind at this close of a range affect my shots in...
