Hey guys, I just built a nice 600yd range on my property but would like to place some windage flags at every 100yd interval. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I should buy?
Range Report Windage flags?

Google ' BRT wind flags " . Or just diy yourself with cloth and sticks / poles .
I bought a set of Flying Fish flags and use them in load tests and they will sure help you determine what is an actual flier or if it was actually wind ,,,it is unreal how much a wind change so slight you cant see it will move a high BC bullet at high velocities at fairly close ranges,,

Wow! Looks like golf flags it is! Thanks!
That looks pretty slick!
I have the golf flags that Lowlight referenced. They work great.

Another +1 for the golf flags. I want to pick up a couple more to put them at varying spots down range. Trying to read different crosswinds sucks.
Guess I'm a tard, can't find these. Anyone have a link?
a flag at 25-50 will help much more than your last 100yrd flag...(time of flight thing)
can't hep with golf flags other than just using yahoo search but you can easily go to hobby lobby, cloth world etc to get the material...then a trip to the hardware store for some metal posts (check the lawn & garden section)
or
you can use an aviation wind sock(s)...they're calibrated for wind speed
or
here are some BR flags/vanes

The flags shown above are "disk" golf basket flags DGA basket flags. I'd provide a link but the couple I found were overseas

Here's a link. They actually weight the individual flags to help with varying wind speeds so I don't know that you could build your own. It's a nice tool to have but not a 100% precise one.

Many things will work but, remember to place them where the bullet fly's, not LOS (line of sight).
Golf wind flags, they're about 10-12 bucks all you need is a rod from Home Depot so the flag can swivel to also give you wind direction.

Dear ..............,
Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. We share your disappointment. We have enjoyed working with our wind flag partner for over a decade. Like ourselves, our windfall partner was a small family-owned business. The owner recently past away. It was our understanding that we would still be able to work with the successor, however, the wind flag business has been put on hold. Needless to say, this is a situation outside of our control and we wish the family well in this time of transition.
We will let you know when we have an alternative solution.
Best regards,
DGA
looks like i have a new DIY project,
