[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 417177, member: 1521"] Bryan did not take sides in his book. Wind is a relatively small discussion there. But formulas in his book support my contention that wind's affect is applied directly to LAG, and NOTHING else: "Actual wind deflection is directly proportional to time lag and crosswind speed" Applied Ballistics, p68. Wd = Ws * Tlag Wd =wind deflection Ws =crosswind speed Tlag =lag time in seconds = TOF - TOFvac Now lag is not directly about velocity, or bullet weight, and that is not the context of my near wind argument. LAG IS CAUSED BY DRAG. And I would think ANY portion of total TOF to LAG within it, must be considered to understand wind drift. Afterall, the truth passes all tests. [/QUOTE]
