Thread: Wind , mirage the last Frontier

The subject of Wind and Mirage are not covered on this forum with any great note so a thread to do so would be helpful to "all" members .
I am going to post info from around the web that I have found that is interesting and certainly may help everyone become better with their wind calls and understanding of what the hell is happening out front before you take your shot

I dont profess to be any whizz in this area but like many hold my own and take every bad shot as a lesson in judgement or the lack there of and every day there is wind and mirage as a great day where I will learn .

As not all on the forum are at the same level we should start from the bottom and work up with a goal of having online videos of the visible conditions one can see and understand once they are described to us .

The main focus points we could talk about are ;
1/accessing wind strength and direction

2/Characteristics on foliage that give away signs of wind speed

3/Mirage and what to look for when accessing its direction and strength

4/Wind in Valleys ,hills , passes and the affects terrain has on the wind direction and strength in general and what to look for when accessing those obsticles

5/Multiple directions of wind and how to manage this shot

6/wind measurment devices

7/How to counter a missed shot

8/Spotting a moving bullet


I am sure as a collective we can post many examples from our experiences ,other sites , and even from youtube which has some great stuff on it .If I have left any areas out on this please do add to the list of wind related variables.
As I am not flash at adding images and stuff I may do multiple post with different stuff in PDF format
