An update and expansion of the first ever guide to wind reading for target shooters.
All other factors being equal, it is your ability to read the wind that will make the most difference in your shooting accuracy. The better you understand the behaviour of the wind, the better you will understand the behaviour of your bullet.
Now, champion shooters Linda K. Miller and Keith A. Cunningham reveal everything they wish they'd known about reading the wind before they started shooting (instead of having to learn as they went along) in concise, easy-to-read terms, accompanied by handy ninety-five diagrams. The Wind Book for Rifle Shooters contains straightforward guidance on the simple thought process they use to read the wind, the techniques and tactics they use to win matches, and the underlying skills that support both.
Let these champions show you how to put together a simple wind-reading toolbox for calculating wind speed, direction, deflection, and drift. Then learn how to use these tools to read flags and mirage, record and interpret your observations, and time your shots to compensate for wind.
Other topics covered include:
- Analysing shot placement
- Recording and record keeping
- Confidence and following your hunches
- And much more!
The essential wind-reading basics taught in this book will absolutely improve your shooting skills, whether you're a target shooter, a plinker, a hunter, or a shooting professional.
