Tactical Precision Rifle Wind 19SEP25

In precision long range rifle shooting, distance and elevation corrections are very predictable and easy to calculate. That is a science. On the other hand, feeling the wind, seeing the wind, predicting the wind, knowing how the wind flows – how the sun, weather, oceans, and mountains affects the flow of air over the earth – that is an art that takes nuance and experience to master. In this module I will present to you key concepts for how to visualize how the wind is moving, then a few simple quick mathematical formulas for how to estimate how much the wind will effect your bullet in flight, and how to compensate for it. Then, we will practice together, and on your own you will practice, and practice, and practice. 

Expect our training to begin by confirming zero at 100 meters on paper, then we will move to the western ridge to engage targets across the valley between 400 and 1200 meters distance with distinct and challenging cross winds. 

Our goal is to build up your experience reading the wind, such that you can reliably achieve first round impacts on man sized targets at 600 meters, 2nd round impacts out to 1000 meters.  

Remember, we can provide for you all weapon systems, scopes, ammunition, and equipment. You are certainly welcome to bring and use your own, but buying expensive gear is not necessary to participate in this training course. Always communicate proactively with the instructor if you need to use the school’s equipment and ammunition so that we can prepare for you. 

This class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 49 unique five hour modules, plus additional practical and field exercises.
