[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 941007, member: 13632"] Unfortunately it's not my thinking, those number are directly from a ballistics program, look at what I did, I took the near wind of 10 mph for 500 yards then told the program the wind from 500 to 1500 was zero and this shows you the effect of that 500 yards of wind in the 1500 yard total. I did the same thing for all three ranges inputting only a 10 mph wind for that segment and it show what just that range contributes to the total at 1500 yards. If it was not correct then my total of each individual range would not be the same as just using a single wind from 0-1500 yards which it is. If we look the first 100 yards I had .3 inches of wind drift, if I turn the wind off till 1400 yards then turn in on in the last 100 yards to 1500 it shows a drift of .6 inches so in that respect the bullet is affected more BUT your first wind of .3 over the course of 1500 yards is 8.1 inches. So first 100 yards adds 8.1 inches of wind drift at 1500 and the last 100 yards only adds .6 inches, which is greater? Again not my thinking, it's the ballistic program doing the calculation with zero interpretation from me. The wind in the first half of your trajectory is the major player! [/QUOTE]
