I was mostly joking with you but also thinking, "what does he know".That was a typo, i got fat fingers
It’s what was taught to me from the days I was still wet behind the ears, but it will still get you on paper usually in the 10 ring. Besides most novice shooters underestimate the amount of correction needed. If you under correct you’ll be short, but if you overcorrect, or what they think is over correct they are usually cenetered or on the other side in the 10 ring.I was mostly joking with you but also thinking, "what does he know".
I understand that your method is a general type thing but it does seem to be from old 168SMK@2550fps type data. Or maybe from cotton flag type corrections? 2.4moa for 4mph seems more than what a 80Amax would need.
AkajunTHis is a simple wind formula taught to me by an AMU coach when I was starting out, and I now teach it to other shooters, it will get you on paper.
Hold your hand out in front of your face with your fingers parallel to the ground and open up your hand like your going to fingerpaint a turkey for a kids art class. with nylon wind flags, your pinky is 4mph, your ring finger is 8mph, your middle finger is 12mph, and your index finger is 16mph.
Now use this formula, yds x mph divided by 10 = moa correction.
an example is a 4mph wind at 600 yds
4x6/10=2.4 moa so a 2.5 or 2. 75 moa adjustment would be in order and get you in the 10 ring. THis is with a service rifle and full value wind.
Next thing to work on is staying in the scope to watch for changes up until the moment you shoot and as soon as you fire. learn to coordinate the mirage with the flags, and watch for minute value changes.
