Hi Peter well done what sort of flags did you get? also mate a truly valuable exercise is to put a wind meter like a Kestral or windmate about 10 feet in front of the flag and using a high resolution camera that has multiple focus points take a picture of the flag at use with the wind reading exact that will give you something to work on when you do your load development.

When you have an estimate of wind value you can then shoot and plot shots that compare to your readings and then you are well on your way to reading the conditions pertaining to Wind only, then you will have to learn mirage and temperature fluctuations and directional spindrift but you will have a great starting point if you get the wind estimations going.

cheers Les
