[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1941471, member: 8873"] I would not assume the wind is the same at all distances, even at moderate ranges. One of the main ranges we use is really a giant open impact area for artillery, mortars, tow missiles, aircraft, etc. From our firing position it is a slight grade down for maybe 200 meters, then pretty flat for several thousand meters. On most days the wind at our firing position will be pretty much in your face (maybe 11 or 1 o’clock), then 100 out it will be moving either L-R or R-L, then about 800-900 it may be the exact opposite. It may shift at random times during the day. The wind reading out to 500 will only tell me what to hold/dial out to 500, maybe a little further. Makes for an interesting time on qual days, that can be out to 1200m. You could have several different winds (direction & speed) to contend with. Sounds like you have my dream home! [/QUOTE]
