[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1415554, member: 4191"] Wind near the muzzle affects bullet POI down range more than wind further down range. The crosswind from 0-50yds will affect the POI at 500 more than the same crosswind will from 450-500yds. Once the direction of flight has been shifted, it continues on that altered course of flight for the rest of its flight path. Which means the POI shift continues to expand from the 50yd range all the way out to your 500yd target. On the other hand, if the crosswind exists solely from 450-500yds, it can only drift the bullet over its last 50yds of flight. That's how I see it. [/QUOTE]
