[QUOTE="Remmy700, post: 1665874, member: 36564"] So when you crank your turret left you are moving your cross hairs right. Right hand twist barrel means spin drift right. So if you are hitting right side of target then you would either dial your turret left correction (which moves you reticle right) or simply reticle hold that amount you are hitting to the right on the left side of target. It gets whacky thinking about scopes and how cranking up correction on turret is pushing reticle down and vice versa. So your app is saying .25-.50 left correction which would be on the dial or wind hold that amount with reticle. Spindrift gets a little whacky on out at distance and wind direction now comes into play and the direction of your twist with that wind. Right to left wind usually hits high with rt hand twist, left to right usually hits low with right hand twist. Sometimes these are small amounts never the less another thing to figure out. Great chart here for visual aid. [ATTACH=full]139938[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
