If you want to get started, here's a sketch of the 'donor' flags referenced earlier. Anyone with simple hand tools can make these for under $10 with stuff from Ace Hardware. Old election or advertising signs are perfect for the Corroplast. But it's dirt cheap at Staples or anywhere that makes signs....lots of times they have scrap pieces they'll give you or sell for a couple bucks.

When you start using flags, two of the first myths you'll find dispelled are the 'steady wind' and 'dead calm' myths. There's no such thing as a 'steady wind'. Ever. Period. Ditto for the 'dead calm' stuff. After you shoot for a while over flags, you'll realize that a condition that feels like a 'dead calm' is anything but.
