Video Introduction to Wind-Reading with Sniper’s Hide Boss
Frank Galli (aka “Lowlight”), the head honcho of Sniper’s Hide, has created a good 15-minute wind-reading video for the Scout web network. This video, a segment from the Sniper’s Hide Day One DVD, covers many of the important basics of wind reading. It’s a helpful introduction for those getting started in long-range rifle shooting.

Quote 1: “On the range, people describe the wind as the Great Equalizer. Next to your drop, drift from wind is the second most important consideration for the long range precision rifle shooter. Unlike drop, which is predictable, the wind is a constantly changing factor.”
Quote 2: “Wind is like water. It’s important to understand how terrain will effect the wind, how it will change the direction, velocity and consistency. It’s responsible for turbulence, it’s responsible for unseen changes that will throw our shot off. Wind will ebb and flow just like waves crashing on the beach. We need to understand the frequency and velocity of each wave.”

Snipers Hide needs the good PR right now. After the sellout to Scout.com sort of ticked off one or two folks. They banned me just for mentioning they were bought out. Bah . . . good luck to them.
SniperCentral is a good option, and has been for a long time. We have a lot to offer, and I’m proud of who we are and how we treat each other.
That said, Spencer, this sounds a lot more like you “piling it on” in another venue. If this seems like I’m calling you out, I am.
Frank has done a great deal for the tactical (and wanna-be) community, and I doubt that any of us know where the future will lead Sniper’s Hide, regardless of leadership. I have been, and continue to be, a member of both forums.
I urge everyone to keep an open mind, keep pushing yourselves forward OFF the idiot-net, and let this forum nonsense sort itself. It always does.
No one said Snipers Hide wasn’t a great resource. If it didn’t use to be one of the best sources of long distance shooting information on the web I would not care they were bought out. I just pointed out it was a bummer to see Sniper Hide bought out. It was even more of a bummer they are so thin skinned about it you can’t even discuss the new owner without getting banned. I have an open mind, and I know mixing “dude” (the new owners word not mine) sports like football with precision rifle shooting will not help the quality of information.
