[QUOTE="Guest, post: 26196"] 4Mesh, I think that his actual tests were done at short distance with few data points. This led him to believe that it is linear. I do not believe it is linear, in fact I would bet a lot of money the vertical component is not linear. No matter how you slice it mathmatically, actual testing and observation show me that it is not linear. Len, I have observed the largest vertical component shifts when shooting at 1,000 yards when the wind is blowing from 10:30 to 4:30, and have observed 3/4 MOA vertical on many occasions. A shift of 1/2 MOA is common. [/QUOTE]
