Wind Reading Clinic

Wind is undoubtedly the most intimidating variable to try to put your finger on in long range shooting. Admittedly, wind reading and calling is nothing more than an educated guess. The accuracy of your guess is subject to your knowledge, experience, attention to detail, and ultimately your confidence in your skills.

We’ll make sense of the phenomena of wind, how to feel it, how to read terrain, and how to program your senses to be as accurate as possible in your assessment of the conditions. We’ll show you our own process for establishing our final data point; the hold that we’re going to use to throw the bullet into time and space precisely just enough to have it blown into the center of the target.
