[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1230097, member: 30902"] The wind is the one variable totally out of our control and even with the best ballistic programs and weather meters because as you point out in the article it can vary greatly between the shooter and the target. Even with the best gear, reading the wind down range by studying its effects on the things we can see like mirage, trees, grass etc is mostly about feel when you get right down to it. There have been times when shooting at a running coyote who has his back to the wind we have had to actually instead of leading the yote by moving the cross hairs ahead of him, we actually have to move it behind him because the wind drift at even 300-500yds is so dramatic. This of course runs counter to how our brains are geared which is why such shooting is so frustrating for most shooters. Good article, it should help a lot of shooters. [/QUOTE]
