I'm looking for a wins drift card I can take with me to the range for practice.
Found this one but didn't know if there was another place to get buy one

Keep in mind these are for single point wind direction, beware of multiple direction or apposing winds.

First of all it’s wrong. It calls out a 45 deg wind as “half value”, when in fact, a 45 degree is actually 70.7% value and not 50%.
COS 45 = .707

Half value winds are winds from 1,5, 7, and 11 O’clock

At our 300yd range the wind can shift 3+ times every 100yds, the flags and grass's waveing every possible direction there is. We have tall pines on the borders of the range and one of our best very long time shooters there says he reads the tree's first and then the flags and grass. He wins alot of his match's so I guess that works for him.
 
Those cheat sheets are helpful to remember general trends of bullets interaction with various winds.
I still mess it up occasionally

All Ranges have a sole, you have to known how they work.
There is a Range in Wisconsin out to 1200 yards. Trees down the sides, but at 300 a road cuts in from on side?
Lots of Flags on a long Range, Range can be a help or confusion .
Most Shooter that have a Home Range learn that range well.
Have Fun Best to All
