[QUOTE="THEIS, post: 1328816, member: 99239"] Hello, Another very often overlooked issue in regards to sporadic high/low impacts in the pictured scenario is the horizontal "floating" eddy. As seen in the picture the firing position is slightly elevated in comparison the the base of the mountain side where target is located. You will also see a little "finger" protrusion on the left side of the mountain. So what CAN happen with a slow moving wind like the 8mph listed is that the wind "pools" up at the base of mountain and as more wind "pools" up it begins to stack then it begins to push itself up the mountain side. As it pushes itself up the mountain side it begins to form a horizontal eddy due to friction of the mountain surface, etc. This horizontal eddy then "floats" up the mountain side until enough air is pooled and stacked that it "falls" over the top which in turn releases the horizontal eddy, which in turn starts the entire process all over again.
