[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1041115, member: 30902"] Just start doing it in less than ideal conditions. Yes, it will be humbling until you learn to read the wind. When you are shooting across varied terrain you can see the wind change sometimes more than once between yourself and the target. The environment will however give you lots of clues as to what it's doing but you have to learn to read them. Elevation really has no bearing on it. There are a few pretty good books on the subject that will help. If you really want a crash course get yourself something like a .17 Rem, .204 Ruger, 220 Swift or .22-250 and head west and do some prairie dog hunting in August/September when the winds start really whipping.
