[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2001807, member: 10291"] I agree with comments that unless the shot was taken at a very steep up or down angle, at 500 yards, I would hold dead on with a true head or tailwind. I agree with Bravo 4 that headwinds and tail winds can be deceiving, and can often be at an angle, particularly as the range increases where wind direction may be influenced. Just last week I had a 521 yard shot at an antelope. The wind was directly in my face, but the down range mirage indicated a 9 o’clock 5-7 mph wind. Corrected for 5 mph and hit POA. [/QUOTE]
