Thread: Do You Know Your Wind?

Any time you want to improve any aspect of something, you need to isolate other factors.

If you want to practice shooting unorthodox shooting positions, do it at short ranges. Take wind etc out of the equation.

If you want to look at your wind reading, then shoot from a position you know you shoot well from.

Also, you do not always need to shoot to practice wind reading. A wind meter does that. Walk around different terrain, see what the wind is doing. Measure next to different plants etc. Lots you can do to improve your ability to quantify wind.

Sounds like a fair comment.

Norway. Are you coming back to NZ anytime soon to run a course?
