[QUOTE="dug, post: 2901533, member: 9523"] Wind as the bullet starts its path is important as it takes alot more wind to change that drifting direction,and bullet yaw . the second most important wind call is at the 2/3’s total yardage ,which is the highest part of the bullets path to target. The higher off the ground ,the less resistance from brush trees ect. and higher the wind speed is there. This is all after you use what you have for the direction of wind , dust ,pollen, mirage, paralax knob for adjusting focus of these at ranges between you and target. Longer ranges with larger bullet path of arc matters . Wind speed is important as well and can factor into the vertical dope from aerodynamic jump. its all an educated guess at the exact time you read the tools , it can change in an instant and as the shooter you can miss the change . If you have a spotter he watches the wind condition through the shot and relays any change that happen during staging trigger thru TOF deep canyons ,rock faced cliffs , powerlines cut through tall trees can really swirl the winds . shooting in open high plains has been alot easier than in the mountains ,deep draws and thermo as the sun starts the day is a nightmare , as is the last hr of the hunting light when the sun sets . this is my experience shooting at distance for fun and for score and its worth what each and everyone of you paid for it.
