[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1668740, member: 105322"] If you are in the same mirage band as the target (i.e. shooting across flat ground), the movement of the mirage (heat shimmer actually) will carry the target in the direction of the flowing mirage (i.e. up, and/or up and to one side or the other). If there are differing thermal interfaces (actual mirage) between you and the target (e.g. shooting across a canyon or across other land features) then those interfaces act as a lens, and the target image will deflect in the direction of the warmer air. Sun angle and intensity determines the severity of the shift. [/QUOTE]
