Re: Ftr Training Ideas.
Jim,
There's some good advice on here already, but one thing I've done is shoot the "mini-palma" targets at 100 yards with a 22LR. That will make you sensitive to every little gust or change in the wind! Likewise, the 300 yard F-Class target will make you very aware of any position/technique problems with your form... it is VERY unforgiving. Unfortunately, the best way to get your brain calibrated to what the wind will do to your bullet at 1000 yards, is to *shoot* 1000 yards. Just as important as shooting at 1000, is sitting behind someone shooting at 1000 and watching the trace of their bullet. If you observe the trace closely, it will tell you volumes of information about a range. Go with someone, and take turns 'coaching' each other at 1000, it will really help your skills develop. It doesn't matter if you think that you're the worst wind coach ever... sit in the coaches chair and do it, I guarantee it will help you!
Best,
Darrell
