[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 101219, member: 2011"] Bart, Was shooting today and was serious enough that I put up a wind flag well more of a wind indicator than a flag. Thend during the course of shooting and making the 200yd trip to the target holder I got to thinking, which is usually a bad thing, for me... I was wondering if wind from 90 degrees = 100% then is wind from 45 degrees = 50% effective for the same wind speed. If I read your post correctly the impact wind with respect to angle varies as the cosine of the angle. Am I understanding correctly?? I also googled on Dwyer Gage. Hey those things are plenty spendy!! Already have GPS for elevation so I think I'll just add one of those windmill thingers for wind speed. However, you lost me completly on the "magic number" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I'll follow your example and do a little figuring and see if I can sort it all out. Appreciate the post, thanks... [/QUOTE]
