I bought one of Rick's uppity flags and it was delivered a couple of weeks ago. I am shooting exclusively on a range very similar to the Tacoma range and only a few miles south. Our range is very narrow closely bordered by large trees, and between that and the berms the wind is just silly. For the first week I had the flag it seemed like Rick had invented a magic device that stopped all wind at this range since every time I set it up we had a virtually windless day.
The last two outings this week were very instructive using the new version of the uppity flag, and as soon as I save up enough of my milk money, I am going to buy a second one. As Rick also mentioned, the downdraft from the roof over the firing line was appreciable here as well as the eddies around the berms.
I can see a couple potential gripes about it-- the 360 degree flag can be pretty busy when the wind is switching across the range some people may not like that. Also, as Rick mentioned in the instructions he sent, rain can definitely affect the function of the flag. I waxed the top surface of the vane with Birchwood Casey stock wax to see if that might help--but all it did was make it stop raining............
