[QUOTE="Oak_Leaf, post: 2997522, member: 128477"] Kestrel has a paper they wrote that did a pretty good job describing the how the wind affects the flight for each portion of the bullet flight. They broke the flight into 1/3 segments. To me, there were two main points that I remember. One, the first 2/3 of flight make up 80% of the deflection. And, two, the first 1/3 and the second third almost look the same as far as deflection. Shooting at shorter distances, i.e. 200 yd, the first 1/3 is more important than second 1/3. Shooting at 1,000, both the first 1/3 and second 1/3 are about equal in their deflection contribution. This may be part of the varying opinions - everybody's kind of right in a way. [/QUOTE]
