[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 416933, member: 13632"] I would partially agree with the idea that reading terrain and practice is highly important. This is the exact reason I have started to use the multiple wind zones, I many places I shoot I will be shooting through three different air flows. The first is at the shooter and I can read directly and this value is generally good to just past the terrain change in the canyon or draw then in the center there is an acceleration and I usually run a number about double what the reading at the shooter is then the last is easier to read because there is terrain to see and I usually use a value near what I use at he shooters position. Another example that I'm just getting into is that the canyons I shoot in always have air moving in the center of them, I can read nearly a zero wind condition on both sides but there will be a 2.5-3 MPH movement in the center just from the air settling in the morning or evening. Using the gadgets and wind meter have substantially helped my wind reading, which has a long way to go but at least I can shoot and quantify what went wrong and re-read the conditions so I can put values to what I'm seeing, for me this works in my brain, if I go out and just guess the value I'm constantly low. If your wind reading skill are sharp at all it should be no problem to use multiple winds in a BR situation with flags and good wind data. Reliance on gadgets will lead to an epic failure but combine the gadgets with good wind reading and good shooting and you then extend your cold bore range and effectiveness. [/QUOTE]
