Here is a follow up of some more wind stuff I have been working recently as well and putting up on my YouTube/IG platforms. Breaking down wind short and sweet,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weszykQ0tnk

Just threw up a video on the last training session I had specifically focusing on strong side and weak side shooting with transitions back and forth! This was a specific stage we had last month at the local club match held out at Alliance Outdoors in Maysville, NC. If you guys are interested in a fun a inexpensive one day match to test where you are as a shooter under time constraints, and want to see where you need improvement or where you are excelling at I recommend you check them out on Facebook and Instagram!

Well that's not too complicated of a situation to understand theoretically. There was obviously wind which I am sure you noticed while you were shooting. If you did not notice it at your position then there was definitely wind down range between you and the target. So the easiest way to solve this on the spot is to look at where your shot missed and use your reticle to measure back to where you were aiming then apply that hold or dial that correction into you windage turret. EX: If you missed left .5 mils then you need to hold right .5 or dial .5 right on your turret. You can get much more in depth as to what the wind speed was doing at that range and which bullet you were shooting and some other factors to determine how the wind is determined to affect you bullet. Hoping to get some online programs available in the near future for guys to purchase and view to learn how all this works. BUT since that is not currently completed and available just let me know what other questions you have and I will gladly answer them here in the forum for ya! -Solo

I 100% believe that there is sense in validating your DOPE the traditional sense, but I would caveat with it being more of a confirmation of DOPE. Your apps and computers work off of a formula that is more or less a VERY accurate hypothesis. As we have seen before there are many different ones and they are only as good as the individuals who make them, for example Hornady 4DOF and Applied Ballistics are very reputable and tested solvers. But even these will have slight deviations as you look through the DOPE cards that they provide, I have noticed that they both work very well inside of 7 yards and after that there are many factors that contribute to a miss so it is hard to truly tell if it was the solver. This is why there is trajectory validation or truing, you can confirm that the DOPES are good or if they need minor tweaking. The best way to do it in my opinion is to use the solver, but then confirm with real bullets because then you know for certain that the DOPE is correct because you hit and centered it vertically. - Solo
