[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1060250, member: 10291"] Canyon shooting is by far the toughest for me to get a solid wind dope. I have had to pass on LR shots on a bunch of good animals over the years because of uncertainty in this condition. I agree with Brent that understanding the prevailing wind speed and direction, and applying it to the orientation of the canyon is a very useful approach. As a general rule, when shooting across canyons where the elevation is a few hundred feet or more, I will many times double the correction that I determine at my location. Not very scientific, but there aways seems to be a venturi type of effect in canyon formations that accelerates the wind. [/QUOTE]
