[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 877740, member: 61747"] It is a pain in the butt for sure. I was shooting 1500 yards one day and the wind was gusting L to R. My shots were stringing up and down as well as L and right. So I decided to shoot during the strong wind and plot the impact and then light wind and plot the impact. Elevation changed with the wind and at that distance it was easy to see it. I am not convinced yet that lighter wind has enough of an affect for hunting purposes alone. I was shooting in a variable wind ( 4-7 ) last Friday at 1486 and 48 yards. Impacts in elevation were minimal. In fact, on paper my 948 yard impacts deviated less than 2". I was stringing L and R though. I was not too impressed myself on that but it did educate me, once again, as to how much affect conditions can have. 1.3 to 2.3 MOA is the wind affect in that shooting scenario. I adjusted .25MOA up for the wind, impacts were still about .25 low but wind variance high to low at 948 yards was almost 10". I am constantly humbled but wind in the mountains. On the plains it doesn't bother me to bad. [/QUOTE]
