[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1150566, member: 91090"] you know I always thought that the second half of the flight time would be where the most effect of wind would be. the bullet is slowing down and it is riding in a moving mass of air much like a boat in a cross current. but studies have shown that it is really the first third. The rational is that in the first part of the bullets flight wind deflection creates an angle in the flight path. A small 1 degree change near the shooter has a much greater effect than a 1 degree change half way down range. What is strange to me is that the bullet actually turns into the wind like a weathervane. It is all very complicated. Brian Litz book applied ballistics would be a good place to start if you really want to understand it. [/QUOTE]
