A friend once mentioned a book written by a former sniper. I think it was titled The Professional, but I'm not sure. The guy once had to assassinate someone, and he had to perform all kinds of elaborate calculations to get the shot right. Wind speed, humidity, temperature, what areas the round would fly over (concrete absorbs heat and would cause thermals to rise in daytime), etc. He hit his target...

I would love to learn how to shoot like that.
...not that I am planning on assasinating anyone, but it would be great to understand and calculate wind, humidity, temp, ect...in its relation to bullet velocity.
