How to Estimate Range and Wind

by Pseudonym Sniper

This book is essentially a detailed Sniper Training manual for use by Military/LE Snipers, Competition shooters, Long Range Hunters, and other enthusiasts. It describes, in detail, methods of range and wind estimation and includes practical exercises to ensure that the reader understands the methods outlined and also has a quick reference guide for the most commonly used equations in this skill set. The book was primarily written for those new to long range shooting however, I hope that even experienced shooters will benefit from the book.

lots of good info

This book is well written and covers a lot of ground. I have read a couple of this style of book now , and can say that there are a lot of takeaways here. It's written in plain English and explained in such a manner that a total beginner can grasp. Now i just have to get out and start reading the wind and practicing the methods presented here.

A lot of useful formulas

Without a range finder, the author discussed ways to improve your guesstimate on distances. Wind is a different beast. Without a Kestrel, the formulas will help you hit your targets with winds coming from different directions during the same shot. It will take practice and this book will help you get there.

Remember the principle of good marksmanship.

It was written to remind the clients of their Marksmanship. How weather can posses part hampering the shot.


Yes I would recommend this book
