[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2350238, member: 60453"] Sounds like fun. You may have repeating wind conditions, like out at Ben Lomand Range in Colorado, where the wind whips as your bullet goes down range. Parts of that range blow left, parts blow right and parts blow to or from the firing points. Sometimes all three at the same time. Try putting up range flags every 50 yards or so, and watch the flags. See what the wind is actually doing. Get an old military sniper's manual and see how to read flags and what they should be made of (silk or very light cotton if I remember right) and you can determine wind direction at various points down range. That's important because at distances of 1,000 yards and such, the wind can change values, strength and even direction. Flags will help you see the changes. Its the only way to read wind at the target or between your position and the target. [/QUOTE]
