[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2268416, member: 118816"] And this is why old military snipers and long range shooters are much more intuitive to what is going on around them and between them and the target that the new people who are relying on gadgets and giggles to do the calculations for them. Old time shooters estimate the wind using trees, grass and mirage to name a few to do a by guess and by golly as to what the bullet is going to do between here and there. If on a range and the range flag on the firing line is showing wind at 90 degrees at 10 mph and the range flag down by the targets is showing 270 degrees at 20 mph which do you believe? There is more to long range shooting than twisting dials and gauging bullet drop. [/QUOTE]
