Finally a wind reading video that's not a Kestrel reading video. Thanks!

His teaching method makes me more interested in this sport. Thank you, Ryan.

Another excellent video, thanks! I always learn so much from your videos. And thanks to your book (and lots of practice), my LRS skills have increased dramatically. I love your no-nonsense, practical approach of how you very simply present the problems and the solutions, without a lot of jargon and tacticool nonsense.

I love how simple, practical and to the point your lessons and tips are. Thank you!

Ryan is a treasure. He is so engaging on how he presents his information. He is the only one I trust to learn from.

Magic . Very smart man. I respect his attitude in all videos very much. Thank you. Canada

Thanks alot Ryan, my son wants to be a spec ops sniper & these videos have given us a very practical starting point. Thank you sir!!!

This is one of the best videos on the subject matter out there. Thank you very much Ryan.

Lots of good information in that little segment. Thanks Ryan!

Love this guy. Going to buy your book now if it is half as good as the few videos I've seen it will not disappoint!

Thank you for teaching this very valuable technique.

Working slowly through your book. Thanks for the wind tip.

Excellent tip Ryan, I've recently started taking an interest in long range shooting and your videos are certainly very educational. You are one of the best teachers on youtube, I hope you do more of these

This helped so much--thank you for giving approachable information.

Love your stuff Ryan! Thanks! Kapper

Best discussion on reading the wind ever!

Straightforward! Thank you for the great video!

Just awesome indeed. Shoot lots and stay safe.

Grate video, keep them coming, and thank you

Excellent information, delivered with clarity. 🇺🇸🗽🦅

Wow. That was very informative and concise. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I would love to shoot with you for a day. I feel I would learn a ton

Great job as always, Ryan! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍

Excellent demonstration of down range wind estimation! Thank you!

Great video, Ryan. I certainly appreciate your videos.

Great! Good to see you again on KZread! Good intel for sure😎😎🤙🏻🤙🏻

Fantastic-one of my top five videos this year‼️‼️💥👍👍👍👍👍 I love the practical knowledge that you provided to us. And yes, I do have your orange book 😊😊

Thanks for the info Ryan. What power spotting scope would you recommend .

Great teaching video ! Thank you.

Great video thanks for all the info!!!

Mind blown. Thank you, sir!

Great great advise!! Thank you very much !!

Great tip that can only come from experience

Simple and very effective, thank you.

Ryan, I love your videos, it's been the greatest education in the sport of hunting and shooting for me. Thanks for taking the time to teach.

Very interesting. Thank you

Priceless lesson.

As always, helpful tricks...

Solid advice, as always.

A short lesson on the high pressure and low pressure areas around the projectile as it travels may impart some easy to learn long range shooting lessons. With this in mind you may be able to determine some of vertical component associated with a horizontal wind. In addition to the horizontal component.

Awesome thanks for the great video

Awesome dude. You’re a sick unit.

Excellent! Thank you!

Practical hands on advice in the field. Too many people are into gadgets.

Great video thanks!

You sir, are a legend!

As always excellent 👏👏👏👍

Great info.

Turning to get wind direction is news to me. Thanks!

Wow, more tips like this please

Great info!

Clever stuff!! I’ll try this next time I’m out

Here is a question that a lot of people ask: If you are reading the mirage through a rifle scope instead of a spotting scope, and the rifle scope has a parallax adjustment on the side of the scope, do you use the parallax adjustment to back off on the focus and bring the target out of focus so as to see the mirage? Or do you use the magnification power adjustment, say for example back off from 25x down to 15x? Which do you use? I do it either way. But many people have scopes that don't have parallax adjustments.

Well explained and a probably more accurate than trying to estimate from watching grass heads blowing around. So shooting into a strong headwind at long range makes little difference on POI?

thank you Ryan

fantastic!

Best explanation on the net.

Nice and concise without a lot of chatter. thank you.

brilliant...thanks

Wow, just wow 🔥💪

Very informative

great vid man. are you on any other channels

Good stuff

Now that's gonna come in handy, thank you.

@Ryan Cleckner So you mentioned in a different video that you can see the mirage with your naked eye as well: do you look short of your target to focus your eyes or does it just come from doing this enough with the spotting scope that your brain knows what it's looking for, or both, or something other?

Excellent information. Would have been better with some video of the mirage or some type of animation showing the mirage at different wind speeds, etc.

Recommendations on good enough, as budget friendly as possible spotting scope setup that would still be able to pick up the waves you're mentioning?

Thanks mate.

I was wondering if you had any tips on load development.

Looking at spotting scopes good out to 1000 yards. Currently favoring the Vortex razor. Any opinions?

Wow! Sounds real to me.

Good shit

Unreal 👌

What about the branches and leaves on vegetation? Or rolling leaves and dust movement near the ground? How about the feel on your face or wetting your finger tip for direction? Or throwing a sprig of grass in the air for direction(as golfers do)? If near water you can tell by ripples in the water or waves cresting. To learn natural wind readings check the wind report then analyze what the branches are doing,how the water moves, and what it feels like on your face. On average for .30 caliber small bores I figure with a 10 mile an hour full value wind as follows: 200yds-3", 300 yards-7", 400 yards-14", 500 yards- 22", 600 yards-33", 700 yards 47", 800 yards-64", 900 yards-84, 1000 yards-107"(more or less). It's crude but a decent start without gadgetry. Cut in half for 5MPH winds or a 45 degree(3/4) value. Magnums less.

What about it? Throwing grass in the air was done by shooters way before fucking golfers

Hi Ryan, Thanks for mentioning that you even see heat waves in the snow (I was hoping to avoid those pesky waves while taking super zoom photos). Now to risk sounding totally ignorant...You also stated that wind coming straight at you or going straight away from you is treated like no wind for shooting. Doesn't the wind slow down or speed up the bullet, which would result in more or less drop in elevation? I know its a lot less surface area of the bullet to be affected by the wind head on or directly away from you but I'm just assuming it would be an appreciable effect for a 1000 yard shot or longer.

Thanks buddy...

Ryan - is there a way to read wind in night? I do have a thermal and night vision clip on, but curious what tactics work during night shooting.

What spotting scope was used in this video?

Beast

Ryan I want your opinion on the 300 PRC thinking of buying one right now I have it Remington 700 R5 24" in 308 with a Leopold mark 4 scope on it what's your opinion on this rifle

Does anyone know what range this is? I shoot with my parents who live west of Austin this looks like it might be in that area.

Did anyone else sit there with their chin on their chest thinking , "wow! This guy is better than a magician"?

I got using the spotting scope for wind/mirage ..My question is when you were a Sniper without a Spotter, what ootic did you use then? Binoculars or you Rifle Scope?

That was good

I would love to know about where he was on this lesson. It looks like the Texas panhandle.

Good info for sure BUT what if you don't have deep pockets for a 5k optic or you just don't want to lug around a ton of crap. I want to be able to do it the way Billy Dixon did it at the the battle at Adobe walls in 1874. The man made a kill shot at 1500+ yds with a Sharp's rifle with open sights.

Any idea how an Air Force SOWT (special operations weather technician) would handle this considering weather is what they do and many are also trained in this?

On the windage turret there is an "R" with an arrow pointing counter-clockwise on my scope. Say if the wind is blowing towards your right do you index the windage turret towards the direction of the "R" as indicated on the scope? Seems like you would move the reticle left to move the barrel to the right.

whats written on the scope tells you where the bullet will go if you turn in that direction: Turn to R - bullet goes R - same with elevation

I notice we live within an hour of each other...wondering where you go to shoot “long range”. I’m having a hard time finding space. ABN CSM (Ret)

When you turn the scope until the mirage is vertical to determine direction, how do you know if it’s blowing towards you or away? Also when you turn the scope like that, you’re looking at the wind in a different location.

Great question! change your angle of view to the left or right of the target and you'll see the direction of the mirage.

What kind of optic are you using?

Cool beans!

What's spotting scope do you recommend when you try to hit a target at a 1000 yd

@RangerCaptain11A

5 жыл бұрын

shooting distance divided by scope magnification equals perceived size/distance of target. example: 1,000 yds to target divided by 60 power scope equals what the target would look like at 16 yds. if you shoot a paper target at 16 yds you can see your bullet holes. 1,000 / 40 = 25. you probably can't see holes at 25 yds, but you can see impact on steel.

How do you account for coriolis?
