[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1803683, member: 97050"] Sure! There’s definitely going to be a updraft, but how much wind coming over to the shooter depends on the edge of that face and if it’s not super cliff like then there might be some smooth wind coming up. If it creates a high pressure wind into a hill/cliff face it’s called katabatic wind. Basically if you set up a kestrel right there to get your baseline, i would personally like to make sure that the wind at the shooter isn’t giving a false baseline since in this particular scenario, a potential katabatic wind would have about 35 ft at the most affect on the bullet. The rest of the wind with exception to the obvious swirls around the trees at the target is probably going to be relatively straight forward. If you determined that the wind at the shooter is 10 mph but 35 ft off the cliff and the majority of the wind mid range to the target is 4 mph, I think it’s a little easier to imagine that you want to consider your 4-7 mph dope, even though your kestrel is giving you a solution for 10. My example isn’t definitive obviously but something to look at when considering terrain/katabatic wind. [/QUOTE]
