The Overwatch - Long Range Shooting: Recent Episodes
The Overwatch
The Overwatch is intended to help teach precision and long range shooting with the beginner in mind. As well as learn the calculations for taking long range shots, safety, equipment, guns, ammo, reloading firearm politics and more.
-
Determine the wind speed.
-
Divide the wind speed by the Q.W. number.
-
Multiply the Q.W. dope by the quotient.
-
Determine the SIN of your wind angle.
-
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
-
12 MPH wind
-
12 / 4 = 3
-
.6 x 3 = 1.8 Mils
-
1:00 = .5 sin
-
1.8 x .5 = .9 Mils to adjust for the wind
EX.2 - 600 yards with a 12 mph wind from 1:30
-
12 mph
-
12 / 4 = 3
-
.6 x 3 = 1.8 Mils
-
1:30 = .7 SIN
-
1.8 x .7 = 1.26 Mils to adjust for the wind
EX.3 - 700 yards, 15 mph wind from 2:00
-
15 x 7 = 2.14
-
.7 x 2.14 = 1.49 Mils
-
1.49 x .86 = 1.28 Mils
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.
Where Does The Wind Matter?

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
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.

3:00 - 90º - 1
N - E = 0º - 90º
E - S = 90º - 0º
S - W = 0º - 90º
W -N = 90º - 0º
Ranging Formula For Mils
Target size in inches x 27.77 / Target size in Mils
10" target measuring .5 Mils wide
10 x 27.77 / .5 Mils = 555.4 Yards
Click Value Formula
1/100 distance in yards / 2.777 x click
500 yards with .3 Mils = 3 clicks
5 x 2.777 / 3 = 5.4"
In this episode we are going over how to build the chart with Excel to make our quick drop chart.
To make long range hits you will need to true your muzzle velocity and use the correct B.C. We go over that in this episode of The Overwatch!
In this episode, I go over how to use the Quick Chart. Not only does this chart get you on target very fast with deadly accuracy, It also let you see how the bullet is being effected for better understanding.
Using the quick drop number to memorize your dope is so much easer than trying to remember a multiple 4 digit number in MOA. This is why i think using Mils is better. Because it’s easier.
In this episode we are learning how to fill out our calc forms/firing solution page from Ballistic XLR. By TiborasaurusRex and Ballistic XLR You can also get more information from Meccastreisand and TiborasaurusRex on YouTube.
In this episode of The Overwatch you will learn how to fill out your ballistic calculators and how to start using them.
In this podcast, I talk about the formulas to determine distance using the retical in your scope and just touching on the wind formula.
On episode VI I am talking about the fundamentals of marksmanship and dry fire practice. Steady Position, Sight Picture/Alignment, Controlled Breathing and Trigger Control.
In Episode 5 we are learning about collecting data about our rifles, atmospheric conditions and equipment. I talk about how to get this information and how to use it.
In this episode we talk about mounting our scope, building a cheek riser and setting up our rifle and scope.
In this podcast we will be talking about basic equipment for shooting out to 300 yards.
