| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody, we have 10 minutes here with Mr. Nick Lawfinberg across the table from |
| 0:08.0 | us and every time Nick joins us we're pretty much going to talk about precision rifle stuff, |
| 0:11.7 | long range stuff, and making yourself a bit more informed of a shooter out there on the |
| 0:17.6 | range. |
| 0:18.6 | And today we're going to talk about just a annoying little thing we all have to do with |
| 0:23.6 | called wind. |
| 0:25.3 | And so Nick, I think one of the things that I've found when I talk to really experienced |
| 0:30.3 | shooters is I'll tend to go out there on the range, I'll send a round down range, see |
| 0:35.8 | what happens, and you know the left right, that's kind of my first round is my indication |

| 1:07.7 | happening everywhere down range, but they have a better idea of it, just based on things |
| 1:11.4 | that they can read, experience that they have, seeing certain things that might mean |
| 1:15.4 | wind is, you know there's different thermals going on, different wind directions, as |
| 1:19.4 | you go down range at these longer range shots, and they have a higher chance of getting |
| 1:24.0 | that first round hit. |
| 1:26.2 | And so what are some of those things that they're doing, how can somebody improve their |
| 1:31.6 | chances of accurately understanding what's going to happen to their bullet to get that |
