[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 315918, member: 1007"] The example below is not technically 100% correct but it is so close it is scary. You can find the FPS of the wind by converting it from MPH. Add or subtract the FPS of the wind (subtract for a head wind, add for a tail wind) from your true FPS and you will be within a small fraction of an inch at 1K with a 10 MPH wind. The conversion number is 1.467 MPH * 1.467 = Feet Per Second. PS: Steve, that excell file I sent you corrects for head winds and tail winds. [/QUOTE]
