:thumbsup: Hey thanks for this. Ladies stockings and scarves would probably be the perfect flags. I'll set up a set of them with different knots and see how they work out. :thumbsup: Thanks a lot!! Oh, and by the way, I plugged a .28 caliber into my progam with a 20mph crosswind and it says...

Really! You haven't seen any flags. Shoot, the Arkansas State Shoot at Berryville was bristling with flags the last time I was there. I've seen normal flags, pinwheels, air socks, guys puffing talcom powder and an honest to goodness aeronometer all in one shoot at Arkansas. Out of about 125-150...

I certainly meant no offense. I've never seen a serious shooter not have the ability to judge the air currents with more accuracy. Congrats on your victories and you most certainly don't intrude. I wish for your advice any time. Thanks!!

For my wee tiny .445 roundball at 1900 fps, my card is telling me that I would be off target over 15 inches at 100 yards with and 18mph crosswind. Stuff like this is why the roundball is so hard. Conicals aren't near the problem. Shoot, my 8x57 doesn't fly off diddly squat at only a 100 yards...

1000 yards! Good grief. My poor little .445 round ball would fall almost 183 feet according to my program. What do you mean by dominate flags? That seems to be what I'm refering to. I could tell close to what the wind is doing because of the weight of each flag. Say one will stand at 10mph but...

Thanks for the advice but using a flag is most definately not a "gimmick". The most serious long range shooters in the world always use flags as a wind gage OR their own contraption, BUT one way or the other, they will use something. It's plain stupid to wet your finger and stick it in the air...

Hey there. This is my first post but I've shot percussion and flint at the local shoots for several years. I want to learn to gage the wind really close. What I would like is a set of flags that are different weights so that at 5mph a light weight flag will stand up and at 10 mph a slightly...
