    I use a wind meter or the more accurately named anemometer from Ali-Express ($25). So my wind correction will be based on a wind reading from the wind meter at the firing point.

    However, the problem is that very often a wind’s strength and direction can be different down range than it is at the firing position. Unless it is a wind from in front (12 o'clock), I haven't been able to accurately read the wind at distance. I think this is a skill that is never fully mastered.

    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.
