[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 974966, member: 8833"] It is more than likely that the wind is the culprit. One of the things a lot of people forget is that we measure the wind with our meters no more than 6 ft off the ground and usually are watching grass and vegetation farther out to verify. Figure out how much elevation your bullet needs to reach that distance and there in lies the problem usually. Watch the wind on a high flag pole or building some time and make an educated guess to the mph, then take a wind reading at its base and with practice you can get better at it. [/QUOTE]
