[QUOTE="abinok, post: 62210, member: 16"] My preferance has been towards the "head on" wind as well, but these fishtail winds have been killing me lately. My shooting seems to support the data I generated, in that, a 5 degree shift, right and left during the course of shooting a group leaves you with a 20"+ group (in10mph@1350) Annoying to say the least. Most of the terrain my bullet passes over is about 50-70ft below line of sight, and the air speed tends to be very stable. Kinda precludes windflags though. At either extreme angle, blowing the wind by 1mph, and 5 degrees wins you a 1 foot miss. Any other long range hunters want to chime in? [/QUOTE]
