What would you do?
What he said!1. Read this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1581605323/?tag=accuratescom-20
2. Read the wind chapter from this: http://rifleshootingbynancy.com/
2. Go, shoot some matches and try to apply it. This includes making some wind charts based on your bullet and your flags.
3. Re-read those books
4. Shoot some more matches.
5. Keep repeating until you have the books essentially memorized. If you do this, I guarantee you will be one of the best wind-readers around.
As you will learn from these books, you want to start with a shooter-rifle-ammo combo that can consistently "shoot small." Otherwise, wind-reading is an exercise in futility. Also, the more wind you have to practice in, the faster you will improve. Moving out to Raton, NM would be a big help, just ask Trudie, Lige, and Derek!![]()
Sit and watch conditions and make calls quietly to yourself during a team match, while listening to national-level coaches make wind calls for their shooters. Compare. Don't ask questions of course or interrupt in any way.
You will find yourself thinking
"I saw that"
"WTF did he see that I didn't?"
Best wind lessons I have ever had. I still do it.
