[QUOTE="cs1973, post: 355733, member: 22852"] Nothing beats experience in learning to read the wind and shooting your rifle in these conditions is a step you have to do to improve and confirm your ability. As Nomad has posted, get some info and read up on doping the wind. These manuals are a great way to understand the steps one must go through to get good values of wind to input into a program. The gun, Hand held palm pilots, iphone or itouch or a laptop with a ballistic calculator program are tools. wind meters and such are tools. we have to learn to use these tools together well. Wind meters give you conditions right at the shooter, not all the way down to the intended target. learning to read the wind downrange from you will be essential in getting "dialed in". 3/4 value winds, 1/2 value winds and full value winds all play into what you will actually dial in for. these are all covered in literature like what Nomad has offered. READ UP and learn about it and then go shoot your gun to confirm your ability and improve. We all improve by practicing and then practice some more. Its all fun!!! Eventually we learn what winds we are capable of reading well and can shoot succesfully in and which winds we can not. [/QUOTE]
