[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 92584, member: 4"] Probably the best wind visual que I have seen is fog. Not a lot but light spread out patches. I took a customer to the range this morning to test fire his new 6.5-06 I just completed and the conditions were good for testing 100-300 yards. When we zingged out a couple groups in the low 3's and high 2's @ 100 we moved right out to my 10" disk @ 1148 yards. In watching the fog lower in the canyon move we were able to read and make adjustments for a wind that was fine enough to only require .25-.50 moa correction from zero (some required as much as 2.25 moa). The most important thing we could read was the constant switching of direction of the wind. I called as many as a dozen wind changes in a minute, but was able to keep my shooter on the 10" disk a little over 50% of the time. Most misses were no futher than a few inches off the edge of the plate. The fog just made detection of fine change much easier. [/QUOTE]
