The best way to learn to shoot in the wind is to SHOOT IN THE WIND and keeping an accurate data book with amounts of observable drift at the target! Shoot with a no wind zero….observe the drift in inches and then under the same conditions what MOA change is needed to come to center! Trigger time and paying attention to DETAIL will yield good results!

Some time back, I would make drop and wind charts for my boss’s hunting trips, in anticipation of his having to take some long shots. We would use bullet data, chronograph numbers, and software to come up with some values, and our own formulas to convert them into other units, giving him inches, clicks and moa, as he requested. This information was summarized in a small table that would be taped to the off side of the butt of his rifle for quick reference. With the help of that information, excellent rifles, properly done load development, and a lot of trigger time, he was able to make a lot of one shot kills. The key to success is preparation and practice.

At 600 yards, 9 inches is 1.5 m.o.a., its not a big deal to check a ballistics table for a given bullet at whatever velocity (you need to know YOUR parameters) in a 5 mph cross wind. You can even get an app for your smartphone that will give you that information including come-ups. I have used both “Shooter” and “Applied Ballistics”.

Gallagher comments at the end that she will “hold off” 9 inches. You really need to do a follow on video about how she got that number. What factors and what formula. Getting that hold off is the whole point.
