[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2000971, member: 101859"] Most thousand yard shooters read mirage, flags help some but you cant see the far ones unless they are huge then they are not very responsive. The problem with mirage however is that your only reading it where the scope is focused. If the range you shoot has steady winds thats ok, but if theres different winds at mid range you have to know where to focus. Wind reading is a skill that takes a long time to learn, and many hunters dont seem to worry about it much it seems. One of the best ways to learn it is to shoot at a range with pits. The instant feed back from your spotter really helps you see what a condition does to your bullet. Most likely this instructor learned on a range with pits as well. [/QUOTE]
