[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2875811, member: 97050"] So are my comments and opinions. Wind doesn’t work like that. You shoot a spotter near the animal, I’ve seen mule deer just book it into another county, never to be seen again. To your point, I’ve seen them just stand there and let people shoot at them for 5 minutes too. You offset too much, and your in a different wind angle. You shoot into the wrong part of the gust, and you’re still off. You offset not enough and the wind takes a bullet that you have no idea where it’s going at game. Meanwhile, it doesn’t take THAT long to get wind right for first round impacts. My self imposed rules are just good marksmanship and understanding of wind. You see shooters miss their initial shot on a target and try to hold the correction, then miss again. It’s called “chasing wind.” [/QUOTE]
