[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1332553, member: 97414"] Let time be on your side. I've never shot that far, but if I was thinking about it, I'd be looking down range at many different sections trying too pick-up of wind drifts, their estimated speeds, bullet trajectory from ground too above ground and it's return too ground since there is & isn't lift from below. And example I use on cut-lines between the trees is called bullet bump drift, as the winds channel into the tree lines on both sides, this could be the same as a canyon of rocks. We get fouled as we feel the light breeze on the left side of our face, so our mind tells us that the wind is L too R,,, "STOP" at that point. Is this true ??? Even at 500 meters can put you off the 4" balloons. This is where letting time be on your side. I don't know what you folks do, but I know I start looking at many signs at ground level too see which way trees, grass, sand, flowers, and willows are moving. Using birds that are aloft at different elevations fills me in what the winds are doing up above. High elevation clouds might be going one direction as the low clouds going the other, fog and mist give signs drift much like sand on a dry desert floor. Aloting time has helped me alot, learning what speeds move things even more. I started a book for my self called winds. In it I list objects at ground level to see what makes grass free float, bend over, and pack down flat. Black dirt, sand and trees along with many things give us clues, it our task too take these clues and decide what they are doing. Pal Don from Western Canada [/QUOTE]
