[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1415182, member: 75933"] It's hard to describe, but the targets are at the bottom of a hill/ridge line. Ridge is on the right, I shoot diagonally from the top crossing the field hill side to the bottom where the targets are at 500yds. probably a good 50-75 ft from the top of the hill to the target location. the bottom of the hill on the left side has large mature trees lining the field side protecting from any real wind from about 200-500yds. that first 200 has no shelter and line of flight has the bullet at or near the hill top level. I was in between 2 buildings that completely sheltered me from the wind, and I came to my unfortunate conclusion when I walked out past them and was hit by the 8mph breeze. My dope was 8.3MOA up and would've been 2.4moa for that wind, had I known it was there. no flags yet, they're going up before I shoot there next weekend. the wind usually blows along the hill top and into my face. this was a first for that wind direction while shooting.
