RE: Where on Wednesday twenty five: Decreasing wind uncertainty
Howdy sir galenkp! Are there any movies you've seen that accurately portray the distance shooting? Like American Sniper?

This is a good question. Most of the movies don't depict all of the stuff that happens prior to the shot being taken...It's boring I guess...American Sniper was ok I guess, but it didn't show anything of substance. I guess I'll have to say no, I haven't seen one single movie that has portrayed distance shooting accurately. Although one sniper movie I like a lot is Enemy at the Gates. Worth a look.
Oh man, that was quite the movie! Very powerful story. I was wondering if Shooter with Mark Wahlberg was any good in that way, it seems like it had quite a bit of technical information about distance shooting.
Yep, that movie added some of the technical element as he mentions spin drift, coriolis temperature and wind...But only briefly. It's difficult to make all those things as sexy as they need to be in a movie I guess...Consumers want to be entertained, not educated...It's a plague.
lol..yes it's definitely a plague. All the masses care about are having a good time and being entertained. Then when something serious hits they're in shock and rendered helpless.
Rendered helpless and become a drain on others...Seems to be the way of it these days.
Yeah there's a good argument to be made that says to keep your supplies and preparations a secret!
I agree...It's the same on here...People can presume whatever they like based on what they see...Doesn't make it the reality though. We are very private people in real life and typically very few know anything about anything. Works for us.
Yes sir, very wise. Same with us, people know nothing about us unless they've come to our place and then they know where we live but only a couple people have ever been to our place. lol.
