[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 196905, member: 4"] Pstimac, When I looked for wind correction I made my best estimate for cross wind just like normal and applyed it to the windage. Then I looked at the terrain and figured that the entire shot would be effected by the wind blowing up the face of the canyon we were shooting across. This face was fairly steep maybe 30 degrees or so.
