    Episode XXll - Knowing The Error: Increase Your Hit Probability

    You’re not going to hit your target 100% of the time. And if you are, you need to move your target further back or make it smaller. Missing the target is part of long-range shooting, but there is a way to help increase your hit probability. That is simply by understanding the errors in the system. If you know the errors and how to incorporate them into your calculations, you can increase your chances of an impact. Mil Formula Target SIze (in) x 27.77 / Target Size (Mils) = Distance (Yards) 8*27.77/.42=528.9 yards Wind Formula Wind Speed (mph) / Gun Number x 1/1000 of Distance x Sine = Wind Correction in Mils    10/4*.53*.25=.33 mils Target Wind Speed Target size in mils / 1 Mph wind effect    .42/.03=14 mph https://theoverwatch.wixsite.com/theoverwatch/blank-page

    Episode XXI - Reading and Calculating Wind: Part 4 - The Formula

    1. Determine the wind speed. 2. Divide the wind speed by the Q.W. number. 3. Multiply the Q.W. dope by the quotient. 4. Determine the SIN of your wind angle. 5. multiply the product by the SIN of the wind angle. EX.1 - 600 yards, with a 12 mph wind from 1:00 with a 4 mph gun 1. 12 MPH wind 2. 12 / 4 = 3 3. .6 x 3 = 1.8 Mils 4. 1:00 = .5 sin 5. 1.8 x .5 = .9 Mils to adjust for the wind EX.2 - 600 yards with a 12 mph wind from 1:30 1. 12 mph 2. 12 / 4 = 3 3. .6 x 3 = 1.8 Mils 4. 1:30 = .7 SIN 5. 1.8 x .7 = 1.26 Mils to adjust for the wind EX.3 - 700 yards, 15 mph wind from 2:00 1. 15 x 7 = 2.14 2. .7 x 2.14 = 1.49 Mils 3. 1.49 x .86 = 1.28 Mils

    Episode XX - Reading And Calculating Wind: Part III - Wind Number/B.C. Method

    Use your bullets G1 B.C. to get your gun's wind number. EX: .308 - 175 SMK G1 B.C. - .505 = 5 MPH GUN 6.5C - 147 ELD-M G1 B.C. - .697 = 7 MPH GUN In this episode, I explain the error with the bullet's "true B.C." and how to correct that if it's needed.

    In this episode, we discuss how to get your wind angle and SIN. This will be used in our formula to calculate and dial our wind correction into our scope. https://theoverwatch.wixsite.com/theoverwatch/blog Using the clock method, Every 30 Minutes Is A 15º Angle. 12:00 - 0º - 0 12:30 - 15º - .25 1:00 - 30º - .50 1:30 - 45º - .70 2:00 - 60º - .86 2:30 - 75º - .96 3:00 - 90º - 1 N - E = 0º - 90º E - S = 90º - 0º S - W = 0º - 90º W -N = 90º - 0º

    Episode XV - How to build a QD chart: Part ll

    In this episode, we review how to build our Quick Drop Chart. The data we need for this is our Trued Dope from 100 - 1000 Yards, wind correction per 1 mph, cosine angle, Coriolis and spindrift correction, quick wind number, quick dope number, and optional quick drop numbers for bracketing.
