Wind scale
According to Drew there are 4 types of wind. Crappy, gravy, epic, and of course stupid. Since these classifications leave a bit of gray area, here is
my attempt to illustrate the Drew scale for clarification.
Crappy:
Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Pack up.
Gravy:
Nice smooth steady breeze. You are not afraid to launch about anything in your quiver. Gravy winds can also be determined by an unexplainable loss of
time.
Epic:
You begin to question if you should launch anything larger than 3 or 4 meters. Proceed with caution.
Stupid:
Why are you outside your house? Seriously. Please have your head examined.
Wait, I do have that 1.8...
