Wind drift cheat sheet

[Lkwebb]

I'm looking for a wins drift card I can take with me to the range for practice.
Found this one but didn't know if there was another place to get buy one

 

[Thud]

just expand it and print it out

That’s about neat of one as I’ve seen.
I like how it shows the flags head colors too.

Tried to order a set of these but since they are from Canada my bank denied transaction. I will try tomorrow and get some ordered.
They are decal stickers that come 3 per pack.

I think Bart has one on his Bullet website too.

I think this was done by Speedy..

It gives you an idea but nothing will teach you to read wind better than trigger time.

I understand that range time is the best teacher but a lil cheat sheet will help me a lil

First of all it’s wrong. It calls out a 45 deg wind as “half value”, when in fact, a 45 degree is actually 70.7% value and not 50%.
COS 45 = .707

Half value winds are winds from 1,5, 7, and 11 O’clock

Did you fill in your own MOA settings for each wind condition? I’d like to have a copy of those.

No just used for a basic wind reading .
For .308 Palma and .284 very close ?

 

[Pres100]

I have something similar for .223 from the AMU, but for XTC (200,300,600)

At our 300yd range the wind can shift 3+ times every 100yds, the flags and grass's waveing every possible direction there is. We have tall pines on the borders of the range and one of our best very long time shooters there says he reads the tree's first and then the flags and grass. He wins alot of his match's so I guess that works for him.

 

[SKWERLZ]

Those cheat sheets are helpful to remember general trends of bullets interaction with various winds.
I still mess it up occasionally

All Ranges have a sole, you have to known how they work.
There is a Range in Wisconsin out to 1200 yards. Trees down the sides, but at 300 a road cuts in from on side?
Lots of Flags on a long Range, Range can be a help or confusion .
Most Shooter that have a Home Range learn that range well.

Sir, would it be possible for you to send me some copies
of your wind sheets, assuming they would be close for
a 284 winchester?
Thanks, Duane Thomas

Yes PM me your info.
May be a few days need printer ink at the House ?

I have found this to be absolutely true. I shoot two different ranges that have different mirage and wind factors due to orientation, cover, and time of day that affect POI.

Then I hunt varmints at several different farms and the differences are magnified. I am getting better at reading mirage, but dealing with wind is a bigger challenge for me due to the changes in direction and speed at different times and / or points along the bullet path.

I will purposely go to the range on days when the winds are forecasted for 10 to 25 mph and practice just to see how I can manage wind because we can't control the environment, only learn to adapt to it. However, it can be sobering shooting in these conditions. My "workout" consists of trying to time the shot between gusts without jerking the trigger off center. This training helps.

For me, dealing with the environmental conditions is the most significant issue in making the shot, not how I clean the rifle or the reloading procedures I employ.
