Will this Beauford Scale fit in my Possibles Bag, sitting alongside my tripod stand rifle rest, three surround sound speaker system plugged into my Apple 6s IPhone downloaded deer call app and my battery-operated trail camera?
No problem throwing these things in a sack over my shoulder, enroute to the Michigan forests every day.

We were taught that winds exceeding 10 mph is a huge gamble but still possible. We were also taught a closer shot is more desirable but were required to qualify at much longer ranges. For those that are interested checkout US Army FM 23-10 and go to page 3-29 for wind velocity and formula for converting wind velocity to MOA. Mirage is more effective for determine wind velocity IMO.
