[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 185624, member: 4"] DUH, Go to my article I have on reading the wind. You will find a diagram I drew describing what I believe is happening to you. With a head wind over the terrain features you describe you will get a lift from the wind blowing up the face of the draw closest to you. This effect is readable and correctable a certain amount (it still comes down to your best guess). In the diagram I have your exact shot (almost) based on your description. I would bet this whole issue is a wind over terrain thing. Two things, your scope height is probably 1.9-2.0", measure from center of barrel to center of scope to get this, also find some shots to shoot over flat terrainless ground. If your in canyon country it may be best to shoot down one side of the canyon to get away from the lifting effect. [/QUOTE]
