thanks allot for following up with topic.

I really appreciate this bit of advice.

As the wind switched directions, you’d have to give it time to “fill in the range” before the flags (or mirage) would be truly indicative of the true condition.

I will try and incorporate the “filling in of the range” next season.

Trevor, I think I recall shooting in this condition. The tendency was to a rollover that switched back and forth about 2-3 MOA per side. As the wind switched directions, you’d have to give it time to “fill in the range” before the flags (or mirage) would be truly indicative of the true condition. You could (and many did) shoot shots on zero wind during these conditions, but you had better be quick on the trigger!

Emil interesting observation.
I saw the 100 yard flag and when compared to the other targets discounted the strength of the wind. What i did notice was that targets 27, 19 and 18 had shots out the left with tgt 18 shooting a strong 8. i also noted that tgt 27, 22 and 19 shot low leaving me to believe this was early in the relay if not one of the first 2 shots. lastly because the 200 and 400 yrd flags were tailwinds i let my wind call on zero and would adjust accordingly

As you are who you are i will reexamine my understanding of near vs far wind.

Yah, I’d say left 2 for Palma with that last flag pointing hard right. The others could be going either way, would need to ‘scope mirage hints for what’s next. At least the masts are all straight!

There’s actually a significant left wind if you closely look at the flags. Velocity seems to be around 7-8 MPH. At 1000, the condition could be worth as little as 1.25ish all the way up to 3 or 4 MOA, especially if the closest and the 2nd to last flag roll to the right like the other 2.

I go with a close zero too. But I would need to fine tune off the mirage flow.

Looks like a rear fish-tail that would be very close to zero?

Would be nice if the new CMP and NRA 2016 rules would come out well in advance of the season particularly with the big CMP optic changes.

What’s your wind call

I have zero on the gun.

do we know what the wind call was for this exercise?
