Abstract
An indicator member is arranged for mounting to a barrel portion of a hunting rifle or to an interior surface of a hunting archery bow to include a boss mounting a filament, wherein the filament indicates wind orientation preventing hunter positioning to be exposed by downwind orientation of game. A hollow supporting boss is arranged to secure the filament and may be further provided with an interior spool to permit projection of the filament therefrom from a magazine support roll.
