Long range sight corrections

Don.


That has crossed my mind may times. I came to the conclusion that if I'm hitting black then get a high or low especially if the wind is head on or a tail wind I don’t adjust, but I do make sure my eye cup is tight
I think i'm pretty sure what is going on with the unexpected vertical with head and tail winds besides the normal fast switching head and tail directions we get here at Lodi and I noticed it at Raton when I spent time on that range last winter. I think the wash board effect the black cinder berms cause with the head or tail winds 6/12 or 4/10 with the wind velocity gaining or dropping is the gremlin in the wood pile. Especially when it's hot out. Just like the big hill range where the vertical is more pronounced with the wind velocity change the way that range is laid out.

I seen just one flag change to a lifted tail several times on some where the rest hung normal then get back into the normal lay. High over head down drafts are harder to spot unless your really good with the flags. I dont think you can spot that with the mirage, I'm not at that point yet
