The Wind Book for Rifle Shooters

[UL1700]

After 392 days on pre-order the new edition of the wind book for rifle shooters has finally been dispatched! If it proves to be anything like as good as the 1st edition (I had a loan copy) then it will be essential reading!

Why must everything shooting related be so expensive?
It’s cheaper at A&R

I have their first book and yes it is very good. Will be interesting though to see what what improvements the new edition offers.

Well it finally arrived in my google books account today have already converted to a normal pdf and removed all restrictions so i can print myself a hard copy and have it on the phone to read

[lonerider43]

has anyone got a hard copy yet [paper or hard back] ?

I have half a ream of paper currently spewing out of my printer. Looks like a good read for just $21.

I bought the 1st edition copy early on and read it thoroughly. Did it help me ? I really don't think so. Waaay too much waffle.

The best way I reckon is to learn it while actually shooting. And the less “gun handling” u have to manage the better i.e. if your shooting ‘process’ involves excessive attention to the gun handling – or ANY other distraction – then straight away this compromises your ability to really focus on the conditions.

As soon as I decided to go totally free recoil it was a turning point for me, as if I did have a handle on the conditions but the gun handling was compromising my focus, preventing me from making good/better decisions ?

The last thing I want to do is to sound cocky but If you have a long drawn out process to get each shot away then you're in a very different position to a shooter who has the 'package' under control and can release shots quickly.
