[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 1823547, member: 42494"] Carstenbo, you said you are new to LR shooting, but I feel you are over thinking this problem. If you are trying to shoot through a small hole suspended 500 feet above the ground, your question may be valid. Practically speaking however, the wind will change numerous times over the length of one mile changing speed and DIRECTION. You will never be able to calculate it precisely because it changes every few seconds. This is why you calculate the ballistics to something close, shoot your calculation, see the impact, and adjust your aim point within 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, everything has changed and you need to start your adjustments over again. [/QUOTE]
