[QUOTE="4mesh063, post: 26191, member: 941"] Len, My guess on the vertical caused by a headwind or tailwind is absolutely negligable. My Sierra program says that a 50mph tail/head wind will cause a total of 11" of change at 1000 yards. It won't do over 50mph. That is to say that IF you have a grand total change of 50mph from bench to target, CHANGE that is, you get 11" of vertical. We have guys at williamsport who shoot in a 5mph wind and when a shot goes high , "it must have been a tailwind". Yea, right. [/QUOTE]
