[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 91933, member: 8"] In addition to the wind meter watch how birds fly and leaves shake on the limb or float as they drift down. These will give you an idea of what is happening in the vicinity of your target. Go down to the General Discussion section and look at the Paw Paw bends picture. Wind up on the ridge where I was set up was from east to west but down along the river it was north to south. Final wind drift at 800 yds was 12 and 18 inches on two different shots at a rock because wind was gusting. Morale of the story - there is wind drift where you are and there is wind drift where the target is. Very often they are different. [/QUOTE]
