Mirage is extremely difficult to read. It always looks as vertical lines going across your optics. You have no way to determine as to whether it is full or half value, both look the same. And this is where sitting at the bench and learning with the most basic of tools comes into play. Thus in my long range shooting, sometimes I don't even fire a single shot. I get a reading from my anemometer, I observe the grass or leaves, fell the wind on my face. Then, I send it. Be it where I wanted to land or not, either way I've learned what I needed to know. A 10 MPH cross wind does this, and a 20 MPH crosswind does that.
