Quade definitely has the right advise. As an accuracy competitior, I learned how to land on a target with the same system. The key is to write everything down for each jump--wind speed, altitudes for each leg, distance from target (draw a picture of the target and put an X where you landed). This is so you can look back to them to see what you did in specific conditions. Also do a 'wind check' at about 1200ft. To do this, face into the wind and pull your brakes down until your parachute stops any forward motion, note where you hands are. If you hands are higher than your chest, the winds are high, if lower the winds are low, middle-medium (you get the idea). Every parachute has different penetration speeds so without knowing what you are jumping, I can't give you definite wind speeds. This will give you a good idea how the winds are on the ground and how far or close you need to make your final turn. I jump an accuracy canopy, so my top speed is about 22 mph. So if my hands are all the way up the winds are 22mph. If they are at my chest, they are about 11mph and at my hips--0mph. Making hop and pops are the best way because you can concentrate on your landing without having alot of other jumpers to worry about. Be consistant! Good luck! It can be addictive!
