[QUOTE="R. Cram, post: 3059838, member: 116633"] In shooting highpower we always try to record a no wind zero which I think is pretty easy at 2 and 300 yds but it takes averaging a number of matches to come up with that answer for 600 yds and for 800,900,and 1000 yds all you can say is I think I have a wind zero. It is very likely to be a little different when you go to shoot at a different range in a different state. We had one range where if the mirage was running from left to right you had better adjust your sights but if it ran from right to left it didn't change impact, both of those cases were when the movement was around 1/2 to 3/4 min. if the speed of the wind was greater then the mirage made a difference both ways just less in the one direction. must have been some weird blockage from trees. At any rate people have no place shooting at animals at ranges in windy conditions at more than 300 yds unless they are practiced in shooting in infield conditions and have seen how fickle the wind is. I have shot thousands of rounds in competition at 600 or more yards and I try to keep my shots closer than 400 yds and its rare that I can't close the distance [/QUOTE]
