[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1802858, member: 97050"] 26 and I were just depicting to the OPs question our educated guess on wind based off terrain. Wind terrain is just one tool of many tools in the wind. There are no general rules of thumb other than do the best you can. With experience comes results. start with the attached. The decimals on the wind rose are cosines. Use them, stay away from those stupid military clocks, they are about as accurate as the army’s interpretation on humidity affect on external ballistics. If you can get first round impacts at 500 on a 2 moa target or smaller, start moving out to further distances. Around 1000 most of us start zoning our winds, putting priority at the shooter and doing the best we can at mid range and target, and documenting patterns. The training part of it to learn is not to walk the bullet on, but to learn to make collect the information, make a plan, stick with it, and figure out where you when wrong and why. Then go back and do it all over again, until you start noticing a pattern in mistakes and success. This is usually a good way to start. If you don’t care then you can walk your bullet on to the target and you don’t really have to worry about it. [/QUOTE]
