I no longer compete in any form of shooting competition. But, I still wanted a single wind indicator flag for my home 50yd range. My Bench is setup in my gun/fly tying room and I only need slide-open the window to shoot my air rifles.
I will leave the tripod on the range but will keep the flag in the house and only put it out when I go out to put-up a target. That way the wooden portions of the flag will not warp and swell excessively. Bye the way, the pivot of the Indicator is a pointed steel pin resting against a flat steel rod inside the dowel.
The tripod is leveled on 2-axis and the balance of the Indicator/flag is very slightly heavy on the vane side of the pivot pin.
I like the Indicator vane to point the direction the wind is blowing.
If you would like to view my Indicator flag in action you can download the video at the link below. I don't have a YouTube channel so the vid. is stored on my free 'cloud' storage.
