[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 681234, member: 13632"] I find the wind and learning how it moves through an area to be one of the things that I like about ELR shooting, it's something that the ballistics table won't tell you and your Kestrel may only give you hits of. I really like watching an area with a wind while snowing then during the spring shoot the area and evaluate what is influencing the wind path. One key thing clicked for me this spring in my shooting area and that was paying attention to the prevailing wind direction, we're sending bullets 100+ ft over the line of sight to the target and it's getting into air flows that are determined more by the natural air flow in the area vs the air that is more affected by the terrain. I've really had a hard time using trees as an indicator for wind, I think they are just to stiff in my area and if they are moving it's a wicked wind. I do use them a lot to listen for the wind velocity, you can really hear the wind coming up and down. [/QUOTE]
