[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1560174, member: 96226"] Look at the image below. Your bullet has to travel the long leg through space where it's affected by the wind the whole way. Thus you correct for wind using the real distance between you and your target without any regard for angle of fire, not just the actual horizontal distance. This is what is meant by your "wind distance". With bullet drop you have to include the angle of fire to calculate the right correction. Bingo ^^^. [/QUOTE]
