    Learning the wind is the true part of longrange over 1200 meters you can have up down drafts crosswinds left and right all with different speeds. If you have a range set up , I use standards with a peice of ribbon on them every 50 odd meters , real good indicator. Theres no way to read how to deal with wind its simply puting rounds down range that will learn you. Kestrels and the like are good for teaching you to predict wind speeds but obviously only give you the reading where your standing. A good spotter is awsome for picking your misses and makes life so much easier.

    For wind find anything written by Shawn Carlock, he has some useful articles on longrangehunting.com and some back issues of NZHunter.

    I downloaded the free version of strelok to get me started but haven't had chance to test it out yet. Waiting to get my loads sorted first.

    I use Strelok, it's been fine so far.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.
