[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2001985, member: 104268"] Head/Tail winds can actually be much harder to deal with than crosswinds. See [URL='https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/merc-maximum-effective-range-calculator.247929/post-1968252']this post[/URL] in the [URL='https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/merc-maximum-effective-range-calculator.247929/#post-1966488']MERC - Maximum Effective Range Calculator thread[/URL]. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/merc-maximum-effective-range-calculator.247929/post-1968252[/URL] The gist is, that any small variation in a head/tail wind will have a larger relative affect on drift than the same variation in a side wind. I highly recommend downloading a copy of MERC (you need Microsoft Excel). You can play around with all sorts of uncertainties, and you might find some really surprising results. [/QUOTE]
