Reading The Wind / Wind Probe

[ultramag44]

I just got a Pnematically dampened wind probe. It shows the "push factor". Not a reading in MPH, but a relative indicator. The idea being (@ least as I understand it), Observe and select the most commonly seen positions for both the flag and probe. Zero the scope for those 2 simutanously occuring conditions. This is when to shoot. If things go sideways (like in pic #2), wait for your flag & probe to come back to where you have zeroed for. The brave & the bold can try to figure where to hold off for every different noted condition...good luck w/ that one!

Does anyone else use a wind probe, and if so, how do you use it?



Here is one view w/ a windflag


And this one just a minute later!

Your on the job. I see those all over the short range field. Get a feel for anything that moves in the wind. It's what you can do with it that matters.

I'm guessing that you don't shoot Palma, Match Rifle or F-Class. That is pretty much a description of what we have to do.
