[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 117028, member: 8"] Jon I Set up the big fan and ran the meter in about 5-10 mph wind. Your feelings are what I found. Once the angle of incidence gets past about 60 degrees the readings stay way high and at exactly perpindicular it is goofy because even a small angle creates flow. One of the problems with the set up is that even indoors the fan creates turbulent flow with velocities varying about 20%. I don't have the tunnel but I would expect the tunnel to do the same or even worse. [ QUOTE ] I haven't conducted scientific enough experiments to determine its accuracy when used in such a way, but trying it both ways it has seemed to do very well until the wind gets to a really steep angle (head/tail wind). [/ QUOTE ] That is what I came up with is that the most inaccurate reading will be in a near headwind or tailwind. [ QUOTE ] Those are just my feelings and what I do. Then again, I suck in the wind anyway so follow my advice on this subject at your own peril. The only advice I know to be 100% good is use a high BC bullet! Cheat as much as possible! [/ QUOTE ] That pretty well sums up shooting in the wind for most of us. [/QUOTE]
