Well in some ways I can see them not wanting the electric anemometers on the line. Combine one of those with Kenny's windchart and you'ld see some scores jump tremendously and probably a lot fewer sighter shots taken.
But then on the other hand a person could take the time to calibrate an allowed windflag/guage with the anemometer....

At my home range, we have wind-flags at 200, 400 and 600. I also use a wind-meter there. I have noted the flag at 200 not moving, when checked aginst the firing-line meter I had 4mph. But the flag at 600 was standing straight-out, in the opposite direction!

Oh swell Sad

, lota good that firing-line wind info. does Tongue

.

I'll still take my meter to the firing-line every-time I'm called, if its ok to do so.

Jim if you ever shoot Alliance, if by chance you happen to notice all 5 flags pointing the same direction. Take the shot Smile

ALL that hot air that flows around at Med Rocks is brought up from the south Tongue
