[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 495789, member: 25488"] Updrafts can make everything, even velocity, go haywire. When i had the issue with the 130 VLDs this was my problem. I was holding crazy velocities at 200 yards and actually was having a rise of 1 inch over my 100 yard zero. I figured out it was due to a swirling updraft(don't know the technical term/ Wind was straight out of the west, I was shooting along the east side of a north south tree line, two willow trees and a barn on the east side of the path, causing the wind to swirl down and back up. I can duplicate the same conditions any time I have a brisk wind from the straight west now and know exactly what will happen. no wind, it does just what Bryan says it will. I know that it should not effect velocity, but I have shot across my chrony from 200 yards about a dozen times now and it just does. without the wind it will be exactly what the calculator says it should be at any given range.
