Maybe we aren't on the same sheet of music.

I do use Berger's program, and if you use a 1000 yard zero (which you would be using if you're shooting 1000) the highest arc of the bullet will be about 600 yards, and that is where you should be reading the wind when shooting 1000 yards.

The flag pole was used as an example to show you get a more accurate wind reading up in the air then you would at ground level.

Just forget the numbers, set your BC program with a zero at the range you're shooting. It will then give you the max arc, which will be about or just beyond mid range.

And that's why the AMU, and Tubbs recommend reading the wind/mirage at mid to two thirds distance down range.

I think we are bantering semitics.
