Long range hunting comes down to 2 separate things wind and flight time

[QUOTE="brant89, post: 2619815, member: 49553"] It’s likely that the lag times are extremely close so you can’t see the difference in wind drift within a single decimal place of rounding. In the TBBC vs SMK example above the lag time difference at 400 yards was only .002 seconds even with .173 difference in BC. To be clear, I’m not saying that wind drift is completely unrelated to TOF, only that they are not DIRECTLY related. In other words, a lower TOF doesn’t always mean less wind drift, as I’ve illustrated in my previous two examples. But a lower lag time WILL result in less wind drift. The equation for lag time is Tlag = TOF (in a vacuum) - TOF (actual). So that’s how TOF relates to drift. [/QUOTE]
