[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 224411, member: 8"] Charles Using three different high velocity rifles weighing 10 -18 pounds and high BC bullets with winds under 5 mph I am four hits in the kill zone of hoofed big game animals for six shots at ranges from 960 yards to 1425 yards. With winds over 10 mph and ranges at and beyond 1K, I am about zero for perhaps ten shots. At those kind of wind speeds there is so much gusting and swirling between you and the animal that a wind meter is mostly useless except as an indication that you are going to miss. Under 1 K, I can usually manage winds under 15 mph with a fast rifle and high BC bullet. [/QUOTE]
