MDS Episode #0048: Wind, The Great Equalizer
Wind, the great equalizer of the long range shooter. Many of us are humbled by it on a daily basis, regardless if we’re professionals or novices. We’re overdue for a technical topic so in this episode Caylen and Phil tackle this phenomenon and talk about their process for interpreting the wind and using that information to derive a correction. They talk about the influence that terrain has on the wind, wind gradients, their experiences with over-hyped terms such as aerodynamic jump, and understanding how crosswind components are key to accurate wind calls.

A great podcast that gave me a lot of info to think about and apply. Thanks.

Again regarding AJ... the differences in light can very easily be more than the effect of AJ, so unless paying very close attention, the two tend to be very hard to sort out from one another. Great podcast!!

Aerodynamic Jump: AJ in my experience seems to be about 10% of the drift. So, 2mils of drift yields about 0.2 difference in elevation. From the right you would subtract that 0.2, and from the left you would add it to the elevation. It would be interesting to me if you guys were seeing the same.

My process: Determine actual speed... Adjust for angle to get the "effective" speed... Adjust my baseline (0.7mil for 700 yards, 0.8mil for 800 yards, etc.) accordingly. Great talk!! Also, since our calibration is done at 1k yards... Our MPH for our gun needs to be adjusted for targets past 1k yards. Typically, it will be -0.2mph per 100 yards past 1k. So, a 6mph gun becomes a 5mph gun when doping for a 1500 yard shot.
