[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 78880, member: 2852"] Yeah, what all the other guys said too, but I will add that I look for three things mainly and in this order: First, Mirage. I scan each section from me to the target and let the accumulative knowledge I have gathered over the years make my decision for the gun I have in my hands at the time. The only way to get experience in this technique is to shoot in ALL conditions A LOT. Second, I look at shrubbery and vegetation in sections from me to the target but specifically paying close attention to the foilage closest to me as that is the most critical wind to the flight path of the bullet. Third, follow through with your shot. Make a mental effort to see which way the wind blows your dust and how fast it goes away from the impact. Also, if you have time, look at the mirage while the bullet vapor trail is in the air and try to memorize temporarily what happened to the bullet in mid-flight and where it drifted the most and compare it to the mirage image. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
