Shooting in The Wind

[Frankr]

Let's Talk about shooting in the wind, That is the real problem.
How do you learn?
I saw a guy who had a chart the showed the direction of the wind flags and where the bullet would impact on the target.
And after a relay he showed it to me and it was right, it showed the direction the flags were blowing and that's right where the bullets were impacting on the target.Where do i get one of them charts?

No but i will look at that when i get time, Im going to try and draw it from mem, and scan it.
it was something like this, man i cant draw. you do understand it was right in its horizontal and vertical direction. maybe not in the amount do to wind speed.
And i know i have seen it somewhere before,just dont know where.

This it? http://tmtpages.com/windvector.htm - nhk

Be careful with this chart, especially the big jumps implied between 12 and 1, and 6 and 7 o'clock. The chart in Tony Boyer's book seems to fit my rifle better.

+1, I thing Tony's discussion of dealing with the wind, reading flags, and holds is a great resource. I have read Ratigan's book as well, but Tony's explanation made more sense to me. Luck, Tim

No. Note that for a small switch in wind direction from 12 to 1 o'clock, the chart says that the bullet will make a huge jump from very low and slightly left to slightly high and slightly left. This doesn't make sense, and in my experience at the range, it doesn't happen. Same for the big drop from 6 to 7 o'clock.
