Been doing a " little thinking". I know that's dangerous. For those working at their 50 yd rimfire skills, I think it is important to take wind into consideration. Even a slight breeze can alter the path of a 22 or 17 at short distances by considerable amounts if you are trying to hit a tiny bullseye. I try to use a short chunk of surveyor's tape suspended at the approximate height of the bullet path. Not expensive, but I like to use a driveway marker with the tape tied to the top. After a short time shooting using this as a reference, you can become an expert at " reading the wind" at least at 50 yards.

Photos are of my home range this morning. Getting ready for some 50 yd practice. Whatta Hobby!
