[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2484113, member: 61747"] AJ section of the litz book addresses this as well as strelock and AB solutions. Head wind increases drag slightly as the bullet has to push into it. What I believe to be happening is bullet angle to the wind tends to give rise. If you think about the issue via an illustration the bullet is actually launched in upward angle to arch back down to the target. The longer the distance the more initial angle and therefore the more influence the wind has on the underside of the bullet. Ground affect is another potential issue with plains shooting. Heat rising, mirage, and vertical effect can influence of impact point. Any rise at all in the terrain will have a vertical affect. I have this issue at our range. There a small rise at 550-600 and that **** thing will push a bullet a full MOA high at 1k with 7-10 mph winds. [/QUOTE]
