I found a great location for 800-1600 yard shooting, however, the location is in the high desert where a fire has passed through and burned all the natural vegetation. There is absolutely nothing to use for wind doping at the target location... or in between for that matter. Anybody use surveyors tape at the target location for wind speed and general direction? Is there a better system people are using? Or a better material?
My thought is to use a standard length of surveyors tape and record the "degree" of deflection on the tape and the corresponding wind MPH prior to a shooting session. This way I can compare the deflection I see in the scope while shooting to what I saw and documented before I get in the field.
