[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1310203, member: 17844"] A friend of mine built special gimbaled wind flags that could point up and down as well as all around . It was amazing to see how much the wind was going up and down like a roller coaster when all the other standard flags just showed a single azimuth direction . We tend to think of wind as sheet of parallel air coming across the ground from the one direction . It's not it is more like a wave form , coming in bursts and rolling up and down and swirling around objects at all kinds of angles . The terrain can shape the wind . The wind direction can be completely different at different ranges between you and the target at long range . You can sample all you like at the gun but it could be different down range . You can only do your best to compensate and have a good spotter . [/QUOTE]
