[QUOTE="Techy, post: 1222361, member: 92764"] Yes left or right wind will effect bullet trajectory. Try to imagine you are shooting a bullet right now. With right hand twist barrel the bullet is spinning clockwise as you look at it flying away from you. Now mentally freeze that bullet in the air in front of you. Imagine it is ten feet in front of you frozen in the air not moving forward just spinning at a couple hundred thousand rpms. Kind of like some science fiction movie where the hero freezes the bullet on in front them. Now imagine walking up to that bullet and pushing it with your finger from the right side. Keep in mind which direction it is spinning. It will want to climb up at the sam time pushing your finger down. Now walk around to the other side of the bullets as it hovers there spinning like a drill bit. Push on the left side of the bullet. Remember which way it is spinning. As you push on it. It will want to push your finger up and itself down. If you can get this mental imagery it should help you understand what a 3 and 9 oclock wind can do to a bullet. Wind is like your finger pushing on the bullet. Air might not have the same amount of fiction as your finger but it is enough. Hope this helps you to understand [/QUOTE]
