[QUOTE="Richard338, post: 80516, member: 1537"] A head wind will LOWER the point of impact. A tail wind will RAISE the point of impact. Just picture the limiting case of a tail wind equal to muzzle velocity, then you'd have a vacuum trajectory. The effect is much less than a cross wind, but I recently shot in a switching head/tail wind that was good for 2MOA up/down. [/QUOTE]
