#10MinuteTalk
What’s the secret to long-range shooting? The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. Literally. Much of the challenge, variability, frustration and skill regarding long-range shooting relates to wind. Gravity is a constant, wind is not. Ironically, the “F-ing wind”, as we like to call it is probably one of main the things that keeps us coming back to the range to get better at shooting. A viscous cycle really. Tune in to this long-winded 10-min talk for tips and tricks on how you can make better wind calls.

Wind deserves more time!
Long range podcasts are my favorite
I agree that the subject of wind and effects needs more conversation. Thanks guys.
Y’all should bring Ryan Cleckner on one of y’all’s podcast.
20 minutes is great as long as you keep it interesting.
I second bringing in Cleckner. Very practical.
Wind and how it flows over terrain in the mountains. Is a subject that really needs talked about.
I really enjoy Vortex 20ish minute podcast!
Do not worry about going over, knowledge is king
the blend of art and science
15 degrees is 12:30, 25% value 30 degrees is 1:00, 50% value 45 degrees is 1:30, 75% value 60 degrees is 2:00, 90% value 75 degrees is 2:30, 100% value 90 degrees is 3:00, 100% value
New to your excellent podcast. Episode suggestion if you have not already done it. Each of the hosts bring to the table their first hunting rifle, and their other current favorite hunting or target rifle. Discuss cartridges and why you like each rifle. Thanks.
Mirage is the most accurate other than rain angle. The Eagleman technique for reading wind.
I can't believe this video has been out for over a year now, and I'm the only one commenting. A Mirage is NOT just an "optical illusion" When you see the Mirage you are seeing the actual heat rising and how the wind is moving it. It's NOT an "illusion", it's real. Lastly you need to be working to have a Mastery of the wind for accurate wind calls. That means you need to work to get comfortable shooting in the worst of the worst conditions WITHOUT waiting for the Lull. Sometimes you only have a moment to make the shot, so waiting on the lull could take way to long to settle down.
Thank you.
Great video
Great stuff. Could we get a episode on the 8.6 Blackout?
For your next long range topic could you cover "spin drift," please?
How does he shoot when wind speed is diffrent from muzzle to target
1st shot = S.W.A.G. Scientific Wild Ass Guess
let's change the name to "maybe a half an hour or for sure more"
Let the expert talk.
My 300 win.mag. remains uneffected @300 yrds with 10mph full value. But 68gr. Pills with my ,223 will bend 6-8 inches.
You guys mention the 20 minute thing all the time. Where does that come from?
Still waiting on that 17 Fireball cartridge or 17 Remington cartridge talk
I feel cheated in this video. I got more than 10 mins of knowledge. 😂😂😂😂😂 lmao.
Video aims at 10 min talk. Video ends up being 20 min. Yep pretty much like my ability to call wind. :D
Why are you still using the headsets? I've seen your 'after' minutes talks without headsets and the audio quality is no different.

To keep from talking over each other for the sake of the quality of the podcast.
"Wind is like water" ...like they're both...fluids...
Unless your shooting a really long way or its really howling wind is not such a big deal. Iv seen dudes way over compensate for it alot. At distances of out to 400 yards with most decent hunting calibres would be like 20in adjustment in a 20mph right angle wind direction. Practice makes perfect IMO. Shoot in the wind and see for your self. If I'm holding off a critter for drop or wind I'm stopping and rethinking things and getting closer.
