Ballisic coefficient and velocity are the two factors in wind drift. Everything else being equal, a boattail bullet will drift less.

Now the question is, which flags to get?

I'm not a BR shooter. Just a hunter/casual match shooter. Since I often shoot on my lunch break, I'd like something that sets up and breaks down easily and can fit into some kind of case for transport. Most of my shooting currently is under 150yrds but I'm going to be joining a range that has 300yrds now that the mighty Mississippi has put my go to range under 10' of water.

How many flags should I look at using for < 150yrds and how many when shooting at 300yrds? Again, quick set-up is important so I guess I'm looking for the minimum number of flags that would give a decent idea of what the wind is doing.

Those BRT flags look really nice. I also found these that looked nice http://www.killoughshootingsports.com/index.php/wind-flags/keeney-small-wind-flags.html Any other suggestions?

Mar336: Butch Lambert's flags are slick.

Dave Halblom at Flying Fish Fundamentals also makes a nice flag. http://www.flyingfishfundamentals.com/index.htm
