The antique ,but still valid, wind estimation method involves dropping a tissue, pieces of grass, or other light weight material from about shoulder height. Point to it with a straight arm. Guess the angle between your arm and body and divide that by 4. This will give a very rough wind speed. When you have no meter or other indicators it can be useful. Some of the old shooters had an almost clairvoyant ability to call wind. It is something acquired over time
