Anyone use the mtm wind reader flags? Thought about getting a few for the home range. Can you leave em out year round? I'm kinda lazy and won't use em if I have to put em out every time.

If you mean the MTM Caseguard wind flags, yes I use them for rimfire benchrest. With a little modification they pick up a wind change real quick.
They're made of plastic so they should be able to handle a year's weather.

Here lately free time is a premium. So if I get time to shoot I don’t want to spend it setting stuff up. I’m spoiled having steel plates and backers at various ranges. Thinking I’m gonna build a roof over my bench and platform to keep the sun and rain off me
I've been too cheap to buy any of the really nice windmill-style wind indicators; have used surveyor's tap stapled to simple wood stakes or tied around existing pipe fencelines, but am thinking a couple of windmills with tape tails would be a worthwhile addition when shooting 50-100yd smallbore stuff. I thought I had a good handle on reading wind back when I was still shooting high power leg matches, where you're not allowed any sighters, and where most of us were shooting AR15s at 200/300/600yds. But that was more than 20yrs ago, and shooting 40gr RNL bullets at sub-sonic velocity is quite a lot more challenging than shooting 69-80gr BTHP match bullets at 2800-2900fps...
ETA - Googling "indolence" is too much work....lol

Thanks lol. Hadn’t gotten around to it yet. Redoing my shooting range, moving benches and stuff
