Thread: Reading the Wind for that long shot

Steel I just ask whoever"how much wind you got on?" and double it for the 308.
Hunting if its windy dont try long shots.

Could do with some improvement

Yes but look how many I missed first before I got the windage right. 4.25moa of left impact windage to get that shot.If I'd have been by myself I'd have moved closer and looked at shot's around 200-250 in that wind.
You cost me alot of ammo.with your persistance.
Fun trying though.

It's not my fault you're using a terrible outdated unit of measurement.

For most people the 2500 will be all you need but for me the 3500 gives me just a little more for those really long shots. The 4500 and blue tooth showing real time solutions is cool but I've proved to myself that weather conditions don't change fast enough for all the extra money out lay, having your wind vain on a little stand dose mean you can keep and eye on it as you watch what the wind is doing down range. Shooting in the same areas alot the time has given me a bit of and advantage with what the wind is likely to be doing so increasing my first shot hits.
