Finally a wind reading video that's not a Kestrel reading video. Thanks!
His teaching method makes me more interested in this sport. Thank you, Ryan.
Sport?
@@danielmattos2813 yep.
@@danielmattos2813 this is one of the most famous sports, Boss.
this isn’t a sport
@@thisguy7228 "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment."
I am pretty sure shooting can be a sport.
I love how simple, practical and to the point your lessons and tips are. Thank you!
Another excellent video, thanks! I always learn so much from your videos. And thanks to your book (and lots of practice), my LRS skills have increased dramatically. I love your no-nonsense, practical approach of how you very simply present the problems and the solutions, without a lot of jargon and tacticool nonsense.
Ryan is a treasure. He is so engaging on how he presents his information. He is the only one I trust to learn from.
Magic . Very smart man. I respect his attitude in all videos very much. Thank you. Canada
Lots of good information in that little segment. Thanks Ryan!
Thanks alot Ryan, my son wants to be a spec ops sniper & these videos have given us a very practical starting point. Thank you sir!!!
Ryan is one of the best teachers out there!
This is one of the best videos on the subject matter out there. Thank you very much Ryan.
Love this guy. Going to buy your book now if it is half as good as the few videos I've seen it will not disappoint!
You will not be disappointed with Ryan's book.
The book purchase will NOT disappoint. It is one of those you read a couple of times and then keep it close by as a reference.
Love your stuff Ryan! Thanks! Kapper
Working slowly through your book. Thanks for the wind tip.
Best discussion on reading the wind ever!
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you! I want MOAR!
Thank you for teaching this very valuable technique.
Straightforward! Thank you for the great video!
Excellent tip Ryan, I've recently started taking an interest in long range shooting and your videos are certainly very educational. You are one of the best teachers on youtube, I hope you do more of these
Thank you
Grate video, keep them coming, and thank you
Great job as always, Ryan! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
"Hey man, would you mind standing next to that banner over there? Yeah, the one that's blowing. It's for a picture. You'll see the flash."
“You’ll see the flash.”💀 🤣🤣🤣

Great tip that can only come from experience
You sir, are a legend!
Fantastic-one of my top five videos this year‼️‼️💥👍👍👍👍👍 I love the practical knowledge that you provided to us. And yes, I do have your orange book 😊😊
Priceless lesson.
Great great advise!! Thank you very much !!
Solid advice, as always.
Awesome dude. You’re a sick unit.
Simple and very effective, thank you.
As always, helpful tricks...
As always excellent 👏👏👏👍
Practical hands on advice in the field. Too many people are into gadgets.
Awesome thanks for the great video
Very interesting. Thank you
Excellent! Thank you!
Ryan, I love your videos, it's been the greatest education in the sport of hunting and shooting for me. Thanks for taking the time to teach.
Great info.
Great video thanks!
Great info!
Wow, just wow 🔥💪
Wow, more tips like this please
thank you Ryan
fantastic!
Thanks for the info Ryan. What power spotting scope would you recommend .
Best explanation on the net.
Good stuff
Turning to get wind direction is news to me. Thanks!
A short lesson on the high pressure and low pressure areas around the projectile as it travels may impart some easy to learn long range shooting lessons. With this in mind you may be able to determine some of vertical component associated with a horizontal wind. In addition to the horizontal component.
Clever stuff!! I’ll try this next time I’m out
brilliant...thanks
Very informative
Nice and concise without a lot of chatter. thank you.
Now that's gonna come in handy, thank you.
great vid man. are you on any other channels
Thanks mate.
Good shit
Wow! Sounds real to me.
Here is a question that a lot of people ask: If you are reading the mirage through a rifle scope instead of a spotting scope, and the rifle scope has a parallax adjustment on the side of the scope, do you use the parallax adjustment to back off on the focus and bring the target out of focus so as to see the mirage? Or do you use the magnification power adjustment, say for example back off from 25x down to 15x? Which do you use? I do it either way. But many people have scopes that don't have parallax adjustments.
Unreal 👌
Excellent information. Would have been better with some video of the mirage or some type of animation showing the mirage at different wind speeds, etc.
Beast
Did anyone else sit there with their chin on their chest thinking , "wow! This guy is better than a magician"?
Thanks buddy...
@Ryan Cleckner So you mentioned in a different video that you can see the mirage with your naked eye as well: do you look short of your target to focus your eyes or does it just come from doing this enough with the spotting scope that your brain knows what it's looking for, or both, or something other?
Well explained and a probably more accurate than trying to estimate from watching grass heads blowing around. So shooting into a strong headwind at long range makes little difference on POI?
Recommendations on good enough, as budget friendly as possible spotting scope setup that would still be able to pick up the waves you're mentioning?
That was good
Looking at spotting scopes good out to 1000 yards. Currently favoring the Vortex razor. Any opinions?
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for mentioning that you even see heat waves in the snow (I was hoping to avoid those pesky waves while taking super zoom photos). Now to risk sounding totally ignorant...You also stated that wind coming straight at you or going straight away from you is treated like no wind for shooting. Doesn't the wind slow down or speed up the bullet, which would result in more or less drop in elevation? I know its a lot less surface area of the bullet to be affected by the wind head on or directly away from you but I'm just assuming it would be an appreciable effect for a 1000 yard shot or longer.
I was wondering if you had any tips on load development.
What about the branches and leaves on vegetation? Or rolling leaves and dust movement near the ground? How about the feel on your face or wetting your finger tip for direction? Or throwing a sprig of grass in the air for direction(as golfers do)? If near water you can tell by ripples in the water or waves cresting. To learn natural wind readings check the wind report then analyze what the branches are doing,how the water moves, and what it feels like on your face. On average for .30 caliber small bores I figure with a 10 mile an hour full value wind as follows: 200yds-3", 300 yards-7", 400 yards-14", 500 yards- 22", 600 yards-33", 700 yards 47", 800 yards-64", 900 yards-84, 1000 yards-107"(more or less). It's crude but a decent start without gadgetry. Cut in half for 5MPH winds or a 45 degree(3/4) value. Magnums less.
What about it? Throwing grass in the air was done by shooters way before fucking golfers
I got using the spotting scope for wind/mirage ..My question is when you were a Sniper without a Spotter, what ootic did you use then? Binoculars or you Rifle Scope?
trey orr any magnified optic will show you the mirage. We read it in our rifle scopes in field matches regularly
@@richardrisner3635 Thanks..I've seen the mirage with my rifles before.I was just asking him if the rifle was all he used or his Binoculars.
But thank you for telling me.Im learning how to read it now with my scope.
Do you have any Tips that might help me?
What spotting scope was used in this video?
Ryan - is there a way to read wind in night? I do have a thermal and night vision clip on, but curious what tactics work during night shooting.
Ryan is a true marksman because the mirage is the TRUE way to read wind. The only way in my opinion. The frequency of the mirage is more accurate than flags or kestrel. He's a true master for accuracy
wow, you opened up the LRS can of worms with that introduction.
Cool beans!
You just shot me in the head from 1,000 yards out with an information bullet! Mind BLOWN.
Does anyone know what range this is? I shoot with my parents who live west of Austin this looks like it might be in that area.
Man.... there's a lot to it!!
Good info for sure BUT what if you don't have deep pockets for a 5k optic or you just don't want to lug around a ton of crap. I want to be able to do it the way Billy Dixon did it at the the battle at Adobe walls in 1874. The man made a kill shot at 1500+ yds with a Sharp's rifle with open sights.
👍👍
Ryan I want your opinion on the 300 PRC thinking of buying one right now I have it Remington 700 R5 24" in 308 with a Leopold mark 4 scope on it what's your opinion on this rifle
And next use the MOA wind constant formula to get wind counter.
Genius.
I would love to know about where he was on this lesson. It looks like the Texas panhandle.
The wind at the shooter has the greatest effect on the bullet. If you were shooting 1000 yards and had a 500 yard wall that you could place at any point along that 1000 yards then the best place would be from 0 to 500, assuming the wind is constant from 0 to 1000.
This is going to be a tough pill for you to swallow but you should check out mdttac.com/blogs/blog/the-four-actually-five-questions-every-long-range-rifle-instructor-gets-asked-eventually and scroll down to the first set of pictures. Does the bullet get pushed more from 900 to 1000 than it does from 0 to 100, yes BUT you forgot the part where the bullet still needs to go from 100 to 1000. Even with the wind being blocked off it still continues to move laterally for the rest of its trip towards the target, unless you think the bullet magically straightens itself out when the wind cuts off.
On the windage turret there is an "R" with an arrow pointing counter-clockwise on my scope. Say if the wind is blowing towards your right do you index the windage turret towards the direction of the "R" as indicated on the scope? Seems like you would move the reticle left to move the barrel to the right.
whats written on the scope tells you where the bullet will go if you turn in that direction: Turn to R - bullet goes R - same with elevation
@chocoloco654 some people are beginning and or kids.
We were all beginners once.
