Wind Bracket
Also: Bracketing
Holding for the middle of a likely wind range, then accepting the resulting horizontal spread when the wind call is genuinely uncertain.
A wind bracket is what you build when the wind refuses to settle on one number. You estimate a minimum and a maximum, hold for a value somewhere between them, and accept that your shots will scatter across the difference. The call stays honest that way. The wider the bracket, the larger the unavoidable horizontal group, which is why honest wind reading is about narrowing the bracket as much as the conditions allow.
The technique keeps you honest about the limits of a shot. It is a planning tool, not a guess. If the bracket from minimum to maximum wind value is wider than the target, the math says you cannot guarantee a hit, no matter how good your hold. Reading mirage and watching vegetation between you and the target are the tools that tighten the bracket, and a tighter bracket means a more confident windage correction.
