[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1208467, member: 30902"] If at all possible you want to get it right by programming it into your ballistic App. Another decent option is to simply add wind to your drop card if you used them. Just make a chart showing the correction for wind as well as your drops. Just start at 500 because unless you're shooting in winds well over 10mph that are full value like you say, it's just not that big of a deal. If you're hunting where you deal with high winds frequently you just learn to read and adapt. Perfection is not necessry because you have a kill zone of over two feet spanning the neck back to the liver but the more accurate your inputs the better the chances of success. One of the most valuable reasons for having the best data you can get is when you miss it really helps you figure out how and why. Here's a little article by Brian Litz you may find valuable. If you haven't read his books they are well worth the read and he dedicates a whole chapter to dealing with the wind. His books I believe are available on Amazon.
