Not for competition, just for reloading/shooting type stuff. Something that works but doesn't have to be too fancy. Midway used to have some made by Caldwell, don't see 'em there anymore.

thanks for the help!

They are in Winters, TX.

Dave Halblom makes a great flag for 'way low prices. The single vanes are a bargain.

One of ours that I sold to the Air Force. They use them when launching drones.

As Al says, You won't be sorry using windflags for any of your shooting.

Did you notice the flag on the left was not pointing into the wind?

Butch, I wasn't going to mention that but since you brought it up......

Smilin' here. -Al

Nice catch!!

I bought 6 Smiley Hensley windflags and love them. He's a bench rest shooter and makes good flags. Google his stuff, or check with Mickey Coleman. I think he knows him. I'll look too. Lester Bruno used to sell them and he might know as well.

I've been using Hood wind flags for quite a few years now and work extremely well.

I can endorse the Austrailian-made flags Butch sells. I've used a few different models of flags and so far like his the best.

I've been using a set of the standard Northwind flags for a couple of years now; they're made by Richard Storms out of Deadwood, SD. The units seem to very well made and the flags are very sensitive, reacting to wind speeds well under a couple of winds per hour. The nice part about these flags is that each one comes with its own stand. If I remember the stands are metal sheet music stands with fold-up tripod legs, that telescope up and down, so the entire stand can be made very compact.

So far, I've been very satisfied with mine. I used home-made flags for many years but wished I had gotten good flags when I first started using them more than 20 years ago. Here in the windy Big Sky country, I can't imagine trying to seriously develop accurate loads without at least one decent wind flag!

Just placed an order to Dave Halblom of flyfishingfundamentals for a coule wind flags. Can't wait to try 'em. Thanks for all the tips here.
