Thread: Reading the Wind for that long shot

To test the wind where Im shoot from, I just use the "how far does a piece of grass go" test ie If the grass flys 4m that equates to 10mph
( I usually run on 1m = 4kph )


or you could just watch which way the birds a flying

As do I.

It's not my fault you're using a terrible outdated unit of measurement.

For most people the 2500 will be all you need but for me the 3500 gives me just a little more for those really long shots. The 4500 and blue tooth showing real time solutions is cool but I've proved to myself that weather conditions don't change fast enough for all the extra money out lay, having your wind vain on a little stand dose mean you can keep and eye on it as you watch what the wind is doing down range. Shooting in the same areas alot the time has given me a bit of and advantage with what the wind is likely to be doing so increasing my first shot hits.
