[QUOTE="dirthead1, post: 1937757, member: 94886"] That day the wind was all over the place. I was shooting a 6.5 PRC, and out of my first 8 round magazine, I had wind calls that ranged from 2.5 mils left to 1.5 right. There were 4 of us shooting, and I can't remember any of us getting more than a couple of shots off without the wind completely changing. That area is just really windy in summer and the mirage is horrible. The topography just creates all kinds of swirls downrange. But at least the mirage gives some reference to wind direction. We were shooting off a small hill, and the wind was fairly consistent at our shooting position, but not so much down range. So I would say that on that particular day, the mirage was the biggest help to at least get us on the correct side of the target. If we could get a follow up shot before the wind changed, then we would absolutely adjust off the miss location. [/QUOTE]
