    Balancing Wind Flags

    What I use, and many others, is a bubble level "glued" to a piece of delron (roughly 2") with a 1/4" hole (or whatever your flag hole diameter is) drilled in it. When setting the pole, simply stick the bubble level/delron on and plumb the pole when sticking it in the ground.

    Yes. Thank you for the clarification. I made the needed changes in my post.

    Balancing Wind Flags

    Another part of the balancing equation is making sure the pole is plumb (straight up and down) on which the flag sits. A couple of years ago, my physics class did a wind flag project. Too make a long story short - we made an "el cheapo" wind tunnel and a bunch of measuring devices. We took...

    Flag choice??

    Just a thing you can try, before you spend a lot of money. Set you flags as normal. Then walk the range slowly and "feel" the wind on your arms,face, legs etc. Once you feel the wind - check to see if you have a flag nearby. If not - you should put a flag there. Another thing you could...

    HFV, My recomendation would be to support those who support the shooting organizations in your area. You might be able to shop around and save a few bucks, but if you support them (when you order - make sure to mention which event(s) they supported) there is a chance they will support that...

    gusty, switchy conditions...advice needed

    Mike, Awesome question. I hope many reply to this, so that we can try different "techniques" out at the range to see what we like. What I try and do on changing direction and changing velocity days (not saying this is right, but a guy's gotta have a plan) is: 1. Pick the wind direction and...

    Ladder test for initial load development

    LondonHunter, I've had decent luck doing a load ladder (.1 increments) at 200. I use windflags and try to get close, but not the exact condition each time. Meaning if the main condition is a 1:30 wind then I'll try and shoot anytime between 12:30ish and 2:30ish. As I'm shooting, I have an...

    Tuning to Conditions

    "I have only shoot this barrel 3 times. We had a lot of family illness to deal with and I never even made a match last year. I tried a different bullet each time I shot, BIB 118-10s, BIB 118-7s, & Cheeks 115s" I'm guessing your tune from last year might not have been as good as you thought -...
