Your squeaky marker has my dog's full attention. Your knowledge has mine.
The most underrated comment of all time you sir deserve a trophy and a metal
LMAO same here😂😂
It's funny he actually puts his knowledge to use instead of doing a book deal and movie deal
he does have an excellent book
You gathered all that from this video?
He is exactly right on every point, listen and learn how to shoot.
I’d rather go to the range on a windy, very windy day. Less or no people there, and you learn how to figure wind.
Anyone can shoot good on a perfect day. Shoot on bad, really bad days, learn how your rifle handles, become a better shooter.
This separates men from the boys...wind is the hardest thing to learn how to read, correctly.
I’m a firm believer, If you ever need to shoot, learn to only fire one shot.
This guy is a national treasure
At about 1:50 it sounds like he's about to say "I suggest that you back the fuck up a bit."
This guy is awesome and explains things really good and doesn't over complicates anything
Even a stupid fuck like me is absorbing information
I learned more in the last 17 minutes about compensating for wind then I have in 10 years of shooting rifles in the Midwest. and yeah, 12 mph wind is pretty much is standard day here.
After applying the principles I learned here, and a few sessions of shooting, I was able to it 500-1000 yd targets in 35 mph crosswinds.
@@the101dad don’t know what caliber you are shooting but with my 6.5/284 a 35 mph full value wind would take about 18 MOA of favor at 1000 yards, or 180 inches. That would be quite a feat for me to favor that much.
This is some superior information and Ryan is an excellent teacher. Thank you Ryan and NSSF for providing valuable education to those of us who are willing to listen and learn.
CplSki USMC Thanks for your service
@@RyanCleckner Ryan ty for your service you ranger badass you lol and the devildog yall make the difference
In my opinion, Ryan's BEST comment was at 16:35 . "Next time it's a windy day, Go shooting !!" (or ANY day if you live in TX)
Lop-Wa same North Dakota, more fucken windy days than not 👍
Agreed. Increasing level of difficulty increases the "Fun Factor" (at the range/outdoors). Great video series.
I really like Ryan. He's a go-getter, good-communicator, a patriot (thank you for your military service), a smart-ass (in a good way) and a helluva shooter. Keep up the good work!
And a lawyer. He’s the best of us.
i went today in the wind, aiming off target and seeing it hit where u truley wanted it to is an awesome feeling.
yes it is i just guestimated it too lol
"I'm not going to try and draw an elk." Best line of the video XD
You won the award.... the best instructor award of all time
Thank you, Ryan, for sharing us these skills. You are not just a Sniper, you are a good teacher as well... :).
To me this is the best long range shooting vid out there! Thank you.
I do .22 shooting for my county's 4H program, and that last bit Ryan said I absolutely agree with, you have to make shooting a challenge. If it's just standing, trying a new rifle or getting a ringer a 1000yds with a strong wind, go do it, have fun.
Ryan Cleckner, i've watched all the series of videos :). You are a natural teacher, probably because your into shooting/hunting? so much. just wanted to say thanks.
Windy day makes it difficult, better time to practice. When the wind effects and what it compensates completion .The target finals achievement!
I really like your analysis of the situation. When I teach math the first thing I discuss is quantitative vs qualitative, especially with regard to vector analysis. I think this was great.
I'm learning a lot, one step at a time, even though I don't have a weapon to practice with, I have the knowledge to use it, thanks 😊
Ryan, thanks for pointing out the need to simplify many of the technical aspects of long range shooting. I tend to get anal about gathering more information than I need on my weapon/load/solutions. This gives me less time to shoot and makes it more of a chore than a pleasure. Simple will get the job done for most of my shooting.
I wish i could hit that like button over and over again.
I love the hands-on, practical knowledge shared! Ready to apply instructions. Thank you, Ryan!
Thanks again Ryan. They're fortunate to have u on board. Spoiled in that I can shoot any time I wish on my various farm ranges. Wind is always blowing and thanks to your presentation am very motivated to "get it on" and start dealing with wind" Fran
I've learned alot from your video's! You break everything down to be as simple as possible, and for me a little knowledge can make a big difference. Thanks!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed all your videos. By far the best educational on long range shooting.
This is a great video. It has been almost 20 years since I shot a Long Range match and had forgotten a bunch of this info, this brought it right back!
These are, by far, the best video guides I have yet found. Keep up the good work.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for posting the video.
Information with a wholesome delivery that just makes me feel good.
Thanks Ryan, I really appreciate your work on this channel!
Thank you for taking the time to create this GREAT video. Much appreciated!
Ryan is the man! I love how simple he makes stuff. Use his techniques and you don’t need half the gadgets people carry around
Such a great instructor. Clear, concise, and practical. Thank you!!
Only watched one of your videos and absolutely like them more then anything I've seen. Really good information and thank you!
Wind compensation is what separates the men form the boys. Great videos. Thanks again.
Thants a load of information on wind reading .....all the videos in this series are awsome and can be understood easily........thanks a ton Mr.Ryan to help me out clearing my doubts......
Top instructor. Will watch a few more times so I know its properly etched into my 🧠. The video is fantastic, Thank-you
top series of instructional vids sir.
Like every one of them, easy to watch and understand each and every one of them.
Thanks helped me to take an antelope at 300yards this year in Colorado. Wind was gusting in different direction all a long the down range path. Little art a little science and math...bingo, high fives! Received a nice hit and humane kill, No one else got their antelope that week.Ryan's video Understanding Mils and wind made the difference, Thanks Ryan, and thanks for your service as well.
This was incredible, combined with your MOA video. I feel good about being able to figure out the calculations. Thank you so much!
Great Explanation, I am sure I will refer back to it more than a few times, Really appreciate you doing these
The easiest wind call method I've ever used was the Jeff Hoffman Wind formula. I've used this to great success for .308 projectiles on full size steel silhouette targets out to 1000 yards. Basically take your distance to your target in 100 yards as a whole number, then subtract 1. So at 500 yards, that whole number would be "5", then subtract 1 and you would get "4". Your MOA adjustment would be 4 MOA into the wind. This is all based on a 10 mph full value wind.
If your wind is less, cut the number in half & if the value of the wind is less, then also cut that in half. So for example, at 500 yards in a 5 mph wind that is considered half value, your estimated wind correction would be 500-1, equals 4, then cut in half for a 5 mph wind equals 2, then cut in half again for a half value wind would equal 1 MOA adjustment. This would be a very close estimate to get a hit (or very near miss) on a full size steel target. Very quick & simple to do in your head.
Thanks RC. And thank you for your service. Awesome info presented so I can understand & assimilate easily.
I could watch u all day I love shooting my 55.6 long rang and I learn soooo much from u I feel like a. A way better shooter now thank u
Another fantastic and fully explained film my friend,many thanks
Just getting started in long range shooting and this guy is amazing! Easy to see why he was a sniper instructor
Just found this channel but I can see it’s one of the best on this platform.
What a refreshing and informative video, with no ego pr politics thank you I have subscribed and look forward to watching the other videos
Excellent Job Ryan Keep up the great work. It is very easy to see your a professional.
Thank you, great explanation easy to understand. There may be many experts but most can't teach, you can. Also enjoy the visual it helps a lot.
very informative and thanks for staying on point and not waffling on about off-topic BS - hope to learn more from your videos - thanks
I watched all these vids in the series. Excellent easy explanation. 👍👍
Great Instructor and I've learned a lot about Est. wind speed calculations and MOA's.
Great videos that inspire me to aspire higher with my shooting ability. Thanks Ryan.
Thank you for making it simple. I will admit I'm going to have to watch this a couple of times but thats just me. Im just starting out. I just purchased a rifle. Im still investigating on what to buy for a scope and how it all works. Thanks for dumbing it down for the lay person. Thank you so much for your service to our country. I appreciate you sacrifice for all our freedom.
Great job with this video and explanation. Thanks. J.
Mr. Ryan, You are an awesome individual, Thank You so much for your Help !!!!
Love this series!!!!!
Thank you Ryan for sharing your knowledge and thank you for your Service to our country!!
I follow your content on WPN and I own your Long Range Shooting Handbook.
Can't wait for next weekend to go shooting. I'm going to give it a shot! Thanks for the info🙂
This video is great it helped me out alot. I love using the constant at 12 alot less to remember and pretty close to accurate. Thankyou very much
Awesome video. Thanks for teaching me how to calculate wind drift. I'll use it.
Thanks, Ryan for quality information about the shooting,
Great series of videos !
Great video and good teacher, Ryan!
AWESOME VIDEO SIR!! KEEP THEM COMING
Excellent videos. These make am excellent starting point that even I can understand. Cheers.
Thank you for all of your videos they have helped me a ton! i used your teachings to accurately sight in my new Remington 700 sps tac. I am not tack driving targets @300yds.
I am so excited to put these tools to the test in the field! I am trying to get really good at rifle shooting. Just a hobby is all but still good skills too have!
Excellent video, this has greatly improved my understanding of wind :)
This video helped me out so much! It is simple and it works!
Great video , thanks for your information.
I’ve been binge watching this guys videos super interesting
Dude, you gotta write a book. I'd definitely add it to my library. Thanks for this great series of videos.
@ClecknerNSSF Awesome. Thanks for the info. Great stuff.
Thank you so much for your instruction and service to our country.
God bless you sir!
I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to point out that Brian Litz, the ballistician for Berger bullets says that the wind at the shooter has the greater effect which is different than what is said here. The reason being, the smaller initial wind deflection at the shooter is compounded at distance. Think of it like moa, one inch at 100 yds grows to 10 inches at a thousand yards.
Very true. A small deviation close to the barrel will compound downrange. However, a slower bullet down range is exposed to the wind longer. :)
Thank you, Great video.
Best basic explanation of wind compensation I've seen.
Thanks for this exceptional lesson!!
Thank you, it make sense, it is very similar than compound bow! Thank you
Excellent video. Thanks!
Great explanation!👍🏻
Thank you👌🏻
Great info from a real pro.thanks Ryan your the man.
Thanks alot Ranger. You given me the tools for success.
Great instructor. Thanks for your time.
You sir are a phenomenal instructor. I now want a bolt action
Very good videos, easily understood, thank you very much.
I like how you explain and teach.
Very good teacher and easy to understand
That explanation just blew me away...and it was bang on target!
A respectful suggestion for a possible future presentation: Ammo 101.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm learning so much Thank you !!
Amazing teacher. great video!
Super helpful, thank you
These are great well laid out video.Many thanks from an Engish shooter.
👍great job Ryan
Well done mate, make a DVD and sell it, your well spoken and have a non biased view on whats right or wrong, but simply saying this works for me, and you can take my advice or not, got my attention, to many shooters try and push there views on me. 10/10
I enjoy your class. I may not be apply it. But I have the knowledge when to use it. Thanks!
