[QUOTE="Silly_Ghillie, post: 1659138, member: 107271"] I will do three things in relationship to wind at anything past 600-700 yards. Read the wind with a kestrel at my position, read mirage at max ordinate, read the bush around the target, and then extrapolate any change in direction, speed, and find an average to plug into my ballistic app. This has been my method since the beginning and I think it works well for people with a [U]lengthy amount of time[/U]. It may sound like a pain in the gluteus max, but it increased my hit probability substantially. If I am hunting and I think wind is going to be strong and consistent that day, I typically keep the wind coming toward me if I can, that way my correction becomes a vertical one. I don't take too much risk if the wind is inconsistent or I get that "back and forth" constant switching, I either get right up into 300 yards, or I wait until things even out. [/QUOTE]
