I tried a search for ideas or pictures of wind indicators. I guess the search is not working I couldn't find even 1. Any one care to share a cool or simple way of attaching their indicator to the barrel?
thanks

Wind indicator ideas
- Thread starter oldsparky
- Start date
Piece of yarn on end of a pipe cleaner, with other end twisted around the barrel. Maybe? hehehe, but have flagging tape all over my yard and fence posts also.

I have a lot of synthetic fishing line/spectra from my lived close to the ocean days. They are light, super strong and works really well IMHO.

I used a zip tie with a piece of yarn around the moderator on my TX200. The cable tie itself wrapped around the moderator with the tag end sticking out about 3-4". I used a soldering iron to make a small hole in that narrow tag end to tie a piece of yarn about 6" long with a small bowtie on the end to catch the wind, some used a feather or other light weight wind grabber. Worked perfectly for 15 years of FT competition.

telescopic antenna on a base so you can extend it out, move up down .... 
Gets the flag up into the air flow your shooting into while also freely rotating 360* being able to be seen with your non scope eye.

OH, that is a very cool idea!

Cool. Looks like some tapered carbon fiber rod and probably really thin-walled but telescoping? I like being able to see it with the non-scope eye, just like a level would be visible.
Sounds like it rotates on whatever mount you have on the scope rings.

Pretty cool. You can hunt and fish at the same time.
+1! LOL! New category? FTF or HFTF or FHFT or FFT……

Having just WON the AAFTA National championship in Hunter PCP and setting Match high score .... IN THE WIND, don't be so dismissive of the benefit of a flag up in the open air and open view via a telescoping fishing pole. Been using these for few years now. When not in use it stows away very compactly.
