[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1003008, member: 50867"] I find tailwinds more difficult to judge than headwinds. Probably my own idiosyncrasy because, technically, there shouldn't be any difference. Even so, depending on the terrain, a tailwind bothers me more than headwind and that sometimes influences me to make an unwise adjustment in lining up the shot. We all have bad habits to work on - I'm no different. :) Wind is as fickle as a high school cheerleader on a blind date. It need not be the shooter's nemesis - we have to work with it and not fight it. So I make every effort to remain in the realm of average wind velocities and average wind direction at the muzzle for making wind calls while giving consideration to flag averages (if flags are available) over the target distance.
