[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 640759, member: 10291"] At your angle and distance I would expect your bullet to have a downward drift is roughly a half inch, not meaningful enough to miss your ground squirrel. Your bullet is subjected to a 25-30 mph wind a 5-7 degree angle for maybe 20 yards. A full value 30 mph wind at 25 yards would be an inch and a half of drift. I do a ton of chipmunk/red squirrel shooting and have played with this. [/QUOTE]
