[QUOTE="RonS, post: 1056241, member: 68613"] I was going to jump into this thread but there are some people who really seem to know the technique. I understand that technique but it takes practice and watching someone who can make the call in 5-10 seconds in a variable 20-35 mph wind and get a hit at 1000 yards is like watching a magic show to me. This article covers some of the issues: [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/windreading.html]Reading the Wind[/url] The clock system kind of covers it and it works when conditions are stable if you know your load characteristics and how that load is affected by the wind. The trouble is that they are never stable. There are a number of good books on the subject and one of the most basic things I learned was that the wind at your location affects your shot more than the wind down range. Make the call based on your location and adjust based on conditions down range. My calls have improved since I discovered that but I still have a long way to go. [/QUOTE]
