If one sets the target range focus on their high magnification rifle scope to about half to two-thirds target distance, they can see the mirage (heat waves) wrinkling across the field of view in the scope. And their direction shows which way the wind's coming from. As those wrinkles speed up, hold upwind into them, if they slow down then hold downwind with them. With a bit of practice and astute observation, one can minimize horizontal shot stringing by doing this.
For a given amount of wind drift for a bullet at some velocity, the full amount will happen when the wind's from 3 or 9 o'clock. If the wind's from 2, 4, 8 or 10 o'clock, the same cross wind speed's worth almost 90% as much. But winds from 1, 5, 7 or 11, the wind's worth half as much.
