[QUOTE="NWmissouriman, post: 1150515, member: 45260"] I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that statement. If you're shooting to 1,000 yards and throughout the first 500 yards you have a full and constant 10mph wind and then at 501 yards it completely switches and you have a full and constant 10mph wind from the opposite direction I don't see how you can net zero wind drift. Reason being, from 501-1,000 yards that bullet is slowing down more, thus taking longer to get through the second 500 yards than it did the first 500, which in my mind makes me think it will have more drift. At least that's what makes sense in my mind. [/QUOTE]
