[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1561383, member: 105322"] According to an interview I heard with Bryan Litz, the vertical portion of wind drift is about 10% of the lateral drift. So, if the wind drift is 5 minutes for the range you are shooting at, the vertical will be about 0.5 minutes. Assuming a right twist barrel: Wind from the right causes the bullet to rise and so decreases your overall drop. Wind from the left causes the bullet to sink and so increases your overall drop.
