[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1822575, member: 97050"] Do you want the long way or the easy but slightly less accurate way of calculating max ordinate (max ord as I’ll write it)? Edit: saw you’re from denmark when I was wondering about your typing. I changed out the slang to literal, just in case. Y (max ord) =(X being horizontal distance)1000*(Angle of departure-angle if departure in mils) Or an easier way is half the trajectory to target (in yards, meters, inches or mils)+ 10%. And look at you all smart and stuff looking for that wind at max ord. Good on you. This is definitely the strongest wind and the wind to take most in to consideration when looking for sign. The ground lies to us, wind is not down at the shooter, so using smoke drift, trees bend blah blah can be deceiving. However it’s hard to see what wind is doing at 16m in the air, but it’s there.
