In this episode of the Precision Rifle Podcast, we dive deep into the art and science of wind reading with a focus on advanced techniques. Whether you're a professional marksman, a dedicated hobbyist, or just someone looking to refine your skills, this discussion is packed with actionable insights.

We start with a quick recap of foundational wind-reading concepts, setting the stage for more advanced topics like mirage reading, terrain effects, and interpreting environmental cues. Learn how to read the subtle signs in vegetation, dust, and even cloud formations to anticipate wind shifts and gusts. We'll also explore how terrain influences wind patterns, from valleys to open plains, and provide tips for adjusting your shot accordingly.

The episode also examines the challenges of reading wind under varying air conditions, discusses how wind affects vertical trajectory through aerodynamic jump, and provides rules of thumb for accounting for wind speed and direction. Plus, discover the tools and technologies—from traditional instruments to modern apps—that can help you hone your skills.

Join us for practical applications, listener Q&A, and expert advice on mastering wind reading in diverse conditions. Stay tuned for the closing section, where we share upcoming content and ways to engage with the community. Don't miss this comprehensive guide to taking your wind-reading game to the next level!

In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving world of precision shooting and the impact of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, smart optics, and advanced ballistic calculators. As the tools and tech available to shooters become more sophisticated, we delve into a key question: in a future where computers can calculate the perfect shot in real time, how much will human skill still matter?

Join us as we discuss how AI and smart optics are transforming the way marksmen approach their craft—improving accuracy, reducing human error, and revolutionizing training methods. But with all this innovation, does the role of the shooter become less about skill and more about the technology they wield? Can a machine truly outperform the best human shooters, or will there always be a place for human intuition and adaptability in the art of precision shooting?

We’ll hear from Tyler and Jeph, to get their perspectives on the future of this high-stakes sport, Military / Law Enforcement Sniping, and explore the ethical and philosophical implications of a world where machines might take the shot every time.

Tune in for a fascinating discussion on the intersection of human expertise and technological advancement in the world of precision shooting.

Tyler and Jeph sit down to talk all things wind! From reading the environment, judging wind direction, speed, using mirage. Then discussing a simple to use formula for MILs and MOA. It a trip to school for Jeph as he becomes more and more associated to using mil-radians. 90% of misses are wind related. No better time than the present to improve your first round hit percentage as well as increase your distance!

Do you have a training rifle? Want one? is it worth it and what should you be looking for when building a training rifle? Tyler and Jeph hit the topic of Training Rifles, Calibers and benefits, Weight, Purpose, etc. Tyler establishes himself early as a 2 training rifle guy while Jeph had mixed opinions regarding certain calibers but changed his mind ultimately becoming a believer and wanting to change his methods.

Tyler and Jeph cracking open the decision making process when purchasing a scope for your rifle. Brand. Features. Ruggedness. Trust. Cost. So much goes into this decision. Know what you want, what you're willing to pay for, and make a smart purchase. This conversation came to fruition with the amount of shooters who will message in asking Tyler what scope, rifle, etc to buy. Not wanting to be a biased ass, the questions to help lead them down the path of happy purchases are detailed in this discussion!

Tyler and Jeph sit down to discuss the 2024 Team Safari competition. Tyler partnered with Nick Diaz, Max Ordinate team shooter. This is their second time competing as a team, last outing was 2021. The guys knew they would have to bring it and give all they got to pull out a WIN. 2021 the duo walked away 2nd place losing by 10 points. This years match was a battle all the way down to the final shot! The team again walked away with 2nd Place but heads held high as they know they delivered one of the greatest performances they could in a race for 1st place. To top it all off, the top 2 positions battling it out for Champion are great friends and congratulations to Dorgan and Collin on a stellar performance. They did exactly and we do mean exactly what they needed to take home the GOLD!
