Any good sniper simulation software? For a noob to learn the basics...

[emilio613]

Hi folks, I was just curious if there is any software out there, not necessarily a game, but a tool to educate new precision shooters? I am ware that being at the range is really the best practice, but if i can't afford to shoot that much, or I am at home most of the time, I would like to learn the theory and put it into practice, through a simulator.

I am a noob, so I would love to learn all the MOA/Mil stuff, and how to factor in wind, bullet drop, range, gravity, etc. I would also like to see how it works in a simulator, rather than just paper.

Just wondering if anyone here has used something like that, and which ones they recommend?

I saw one called like Long Range Shooting Simulation 3?

Anyone heard of it? Any recommendations?

http://www.shooterready.com <-- it's pretty good, although it's not 100% comprehensive and costs $44. On the other hand, once you've got the very basics down, this is really good for supplementing what you already know.
