Name the likely condition
Start with the wind speed and clock direction that best represent the shot path, not only the firing-point reading.
Choose defensible lower and upper cases
Build a bracket around what the wind is plausibly doing. The bounds should come from observation, terrain, and change—not a ritual percentage.
Compare holds at every target
Use the table to see how the bracket widens with distance and flight time. Carry direction with every value.
Decide before the timer
Write the center call and the lower or upper correction you will use when a known indicator changes.
Update from evidence
Use trustworthy impacts, trace, vegetation, mirage, and changing conditions to move within or rebuild the bracket.
Build a wind bracket instead of one perfect call
Use multiple plausible wind speeds and directions to prepare a decision range for changing field conditions.
