[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 865088, member: 61747"] MMERS- how do you account for angled wind (up and down at an angle) while shooting across a slope? I was taught to go plus and minus for the cross wind at full value such as you reference and have a chart on my iPod that I refer to but I struggle with the a cross wind that is angled. For example I use .25 down for 270 up draft and use .75 of wind value. I use .25 up for a 90 down and .75 of wind value. This is what I am refering to: with mountain shooting vs flat land, many times the shooter to target wind issues are compounded by gap of ravines/draws/canyons. Personally I find it rather easy to account for wind from any direction when I shoot in the desert. I find mountain shooting, where I hunt, to be significantly more challenging and unpredictable. Shooting from a wind hide location on the backside, across the gap, to the face of another mountain produces at least 3 wind variables. [/QUOTE]
