[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 897267, member: 10391"] I'm still learning wind but I go with the wind where I'm at. If you think about it the bullet will be affected first by the wind where you are, then there will be a transition point then into the wind blowing the other way. If you shoot enough you can learn to cheat the adjustment a little So what I have learned the wind down range is just a guess. I have a 800 yard target that I practice with a lot which is down one canyon and across another that is perpendicular and there is always a left to right wind drift in that canyon. On a still day I get about a 4 inch impact to the right. If there is wind at my bench and whatever it is doing will reflect on the target which has proven to me that the wind where I'm at is dominate. Still learning and at best the wind is tricky. Just need to shoot a lot when it's blowing. If the wind is blowing hard I don't shoot at game at distance. [/QUOTE]
