[QUOTE="Guest, post: 78577"] Sniper2 has read my mind... a lot of that book is basic knowledge that most know but there are some good necessities in there too... it isn't exact by all means but, has some really good information. every area of the country is different so you can not generalize the reaction of ALL vegitation to a standard number( MPH ) the best thing to do is get a wind meter .. doesn't have to be the most expensive. Once you have it wait for breezes and wind and make mental notes of what the different vegitation does/looks like on these days. Then literally walk to the vegitation and take a wind reading. Be sure to make a very specific observation, from distance, prior to taking the reading. Take note for the first few times if necessary. larger trees will react differently at different heights. I have at times touched different vegitation to see how "soft" or " springy" the core or branches were to get a better feel of how wind effects the "softer" vegitation as compared to the "sturdier" vegitation As with most things over time you begin to "learn" your area and the wind habits and characteristics of the "local" vegitation. All of this combined will begin to write a story of how to call your dope. Now with LRH in mind the wind may be 6 mph at your muzzle and 10 mph half way to your target and then 4 mph at the target. Intitial wind effects bullet flight more than the wind at the target. ie: 10 mph at the muzzle will push the bullet off target much farther than a 10 mph wind at the target. once you begin to learn these things go shoot in windy conditions.
