[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 635418, member: 1007"] The wind is hands down the biggest challenge in this sport. I shoot in some areas that I would swear I could judge the wind and it embarasses me over and over. One of the things I use often to judge wind (like many other shooters) is mirrage. A few months ago I was in northern Arizona (where I shot my 3rd best personal 1000 3 shot group) the mirage was telling me to hold 0.9 MILS left and I could see the dust behind the target right through the crosshairs. I held right on the bull's eye (even though the mirrage was strongly to the right) and fired 3 quick shots. Sure enough, the group was spot on target. Later, a zero check was performed and was spot on. Obviously, somewhere along the bullet's path there was wind from another direction. Maybe the wind near the ground was one way and 20' off the ground it was another. Yes. It can be difficult!! [/QUOTE]
