Thread: Which is the best wind meter for wind estimation

Yes but nearer the target there is less time/distance/flight path left to move the bullet off.

So the art is really looking close, mid and far and thinking. I try and look at about 1/3rd way as my main correction and tweak it a bit at 2/3rds. Listening to the old guys I think it takes 10 years+ to stand a decent chance of reading the wind right most of the time....or maybe im just slow.
