    It took a little while for me to publish this video due to a back issue I've been having, but I finally got it out.

    This one takes a look at the basics of mirage, and how it can impact your POI. You guys who regularly shoot in the desert probably know this and will laugh at us uninitiated, but I usually shoot in the hills where we don't get mirage that impacts our POI... or do we?

     
    Good video. I have been trying to plot refraction for several years. It's hard enough when shooting across flat ground but there's no such thing in my AO. Never know which way it's going to go from one day to the next.
    I've also seen the target follow the wind in mirage. Such as needing 0 wind when it's blowing 6mph. The wind dies & you're on the other side of the target.
