[QUOTE="shortpants, post: 612915, member: 30564"] Thanks for clarifying that Top Shot that makes since. I ran some different numbers to help make sense of it. A no wind hold puts me 9.2" right A 1mph 3 o'clock wind puts me .7" right A 1mph 9 o'clock wind puts me 17.8 right A 1 mph wind has an effect of roughly 8.5" of drift A 3 o'clock wind you subtract 8.5 from 9.2 since the wind is pushing the bullet back against the spin drift almost canceling eachother out which gives you .7 For a 9 o'clock wind you have to add 9.2 and 8.5 since they are working together which gives you 17.7 (close enough). Not sure why the .1 difference but understand the answer to my question now. I love this website!!! [/QUOTE]
