Here is a question that a lot of people ask: If you are reading the mirage through a rifle scope instead of a spotting scope, and the rifle scope has a parallax adjustment on the side of the scope, do you use the parallax adjustment to back off on the focus and bring the target out of focus so as to see the mirage? Or do you use the magnification power adjustment, say for example back off from 25x down to 15x? Which do you use? I do it either way. But many people have scopes that don't have parallax adjustments.

A short lesson on the high pressure and low pressure areas around the projectile as it travels may impart some easy to learn long range shooting lessons. With this in mind you may be able to determine some of vertical component associated with a horizontal wind. In addition to the horizontal component.

What about the branches and leaves on vegetation? Or rolling leaves and dust movement near the ground? How about the feel on your face or wetting your finger tip for direction? Or throwing a sprig of grass in the air for direction(as golfers do)? If near water you can tell by ripples in the water or waves cresting. To learn natural wind readings check the wind report then analyze what the branches are doing,how the water moves, and what it feels like on your face. On average for .30 caliber small bores I figure with a 10 mile an hour full value wind as follows: 200yds-3", 300 yards-7", 400 yards-14", 500 yards- 22", 600 yards-33", 700 yards 47", 800 yards-64", 900 yards-84, 1000 yards-107"(more or less). It's crude but a decent start without gadgetry. Cut in half for 5MPH winds or a 45 degree(3/4) value. Magnums less.

Hi Ryan, Thanks for mentioning that you even see heat waves in the snow (I was hoping to avoid those pesky waves while taking super zoom photos). Now to risk sounding totally ignorant...You also stated that wind coming straight at you or going straight away from you is treated like no wind for shooting. Doesn't the wind slow down or speed up the bullet, which would result in more or less drop in elevation? I know its a lot less surface area of the bullet to be affected by the wind head on or directly away from you but I'm just assuming it would be an appreciable effect for a 1000 yard shot or longer.

On the windage turret there is an "R" with an arrow pointing counter-clockwise on my scope. Say if the wind is blowing towards your right do you index the windage turret towards the direction of the "R" as indicated on the scope? Seems like you would move the reticle left to move the barrel to the right.

whats written on the scope tells you where the bullet will go if you turn in that direction: Turn to R - bullet goes R - same with elevation

When you turn the scope until the mirage is vertical to determine direction, how do you know if it’s blowing towards you or away? Also when you turn the scope like that, you’re looking at the wind in a different location.
