Recommendations for wind reading instruction/videos

[stubbicatt]

Been a long while since I shot competitively, and am embarking on this challenge again.

Truthfully, I'm not sure where to begin in my quest to learn how to read wind WELL. Last time around I could keep my shots @93-95% at 600, but the wheels came off the wagon at longer ranges. Part of that was the rifle I was shooting, part was inattentiveness in loading my ammunition, part was declining vision, and mostly my failures were due to lack of knowledge.

I bought that Magpul video on long range shooting. There is a lot of value in there, but there is a lot of fluff too. I have attempted to watch this thing a couple times, but in truth I lose interest. As F. Lee Bailey is once quioted to have said, "The average American has the attention span of a four year old." I guess I'm pretty average.

What works, and what doesn't with respect to instruction in wind reading? Do you know of videos that work? Live instruction, and if so, whom? I have that Marine Sergeant's book from the 1990's on reading wind, I don't remember his name. Otis? Owens? It was helpful.

I think I would best benefit from live instruction.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and guidance.
