[QUOTE="BMcKell, post: 303745, member: 5091"] This thread got me thinking, and I didn't know exactly. I put a 1000 yard shot into my Sierra program with multiple wind directions. 3 MPH wind from 3 oclock for the first 500 yards, and 3 mph wind from 9 oclock for the second 500 yards. The bullet in my example would hit about 5 inches to the left at 1000 yards, but is angled back toward the right and would cross the line of sight again at 1400. So the correct answer is the bullet is affected more at close range. I'm glad I got into this discussion because I learned something. I was always taught not to worry about the wind at the muzzle because of the high velocity would not affect it very much. [/QUOTE]
