Wind flags

[chriswillis87]

Wanting to buy a set of wind flags. Was looking at the BRT flags but they are pretty dear at Au$650 for a set of 5. What other flags are out there and what seem to be the best?

Ditto on Graham Flags.....Rick not only produces top quality flags, but is always making improvements and additions to his product line.

Graham flags and Dittman poles!

+ 1 on ridgeway's suggestion and they do supply overseas customers - I ordered and received a set of three last winter for UK delivery without any problems. Ron Graham doesn't make the poles, only adpators for Bill Dittman's excellent telescopic poles or lighting-tripod type stands.

If you fancy making your own, log onto the online shooting magazine Target Shooter's website and download the June and July 2010 issues that have a 2-part feature on this subject by top British Rimfire Benchrest shooter Carl Boswell.

Click onto 'Past Issues' in the sidebar on the right and you can download entire monthly editions as Adobe PDF files.

If I remember right, there is also an article on making them yourself somewhere on Benchrest Central

Send an email to ian.owen@benchrest.co.nz about the Kiwi flags he makes, Dick Wright did an article in Precision Shooting on them a year or so ago. Very similar to the BRT flags but colours are the same as most flags used in the US, also cheaper than the BRT flags at US$70ea.........Kiwi
