[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 612554, member: 21068"] AhHaaaa, that makes sense. Good point. Thanks for that insight! If I'm understanding correctly, in theory we'd have 9-10" right at 1000 under no wind for SD and CE, dead on with a 3:00 wind and 20" right with a 9:00 wind, assuming the wind alone accounts for 10" drift at 1000. That seems to also explain why when we were shooting at 1000 yds (with a 4:00 wind that increased speed as the day went on) that our shots continued to climb higher than expected (as the wind increased) and the wind didn't blow them off as much as expected.
