    I use a wind meter to get the reading where I am, look at the trees etc around me and then compare it to the target. Are the trees etc moving more or less? is the direction the same? The best bit of advice I got from Shawn Carlock ( Reading The Wind ) was that if the wind is blowing up a slope towards you it will lift the bullet. The reverse happens if blowing down a slope towards you. I had to use this shooting a pig at around 400yds. One of the best shots I've made, not the longest, but the most technical.
