Wind Estimation when hunting

[Oldbloke]

I found this and thought hunters might find this of use in the field. I expect target/comp shooters would already know this stuff.

Thanks Old bloke ... Thats very handy

It seems to be an accepted standard. Here is the original. It includes knots and kms too. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/images/iwx/publ ... _Chart.pdf
I went to the Advanced Hornady balistics calculator and it will calc the windage as well. http://www.hornady.com/ballistics-resource/external

So between the two you can make a fairly effective cheat sheet,

I just guestimate what hold off I need if I need it, I haven't got time to do calculations etc when hunting foxes etc. I seem to get away with it most of the time.

Wind is a pest and needs to be culled!

Calm. Smoke rises vertically.

When you come across a pack of deer sitting around the campfire you're gold!
