[QUOTE="abinok, post: 62274, member: 16"] brent, im glad to see somebody who leans toward the full value wind preferance. I guess I decided I had to post this topic since ive heard everybody say something like... "I only shoot when everything, including the wind is just right". Only problem is that the "perfect wind" is really more of a subjective thing, determined by whether the wind speed is steadier than the wind direction. I hope you were doing your math in your post from the data I provided, especially the referance to the 11.5" for 1 degree change. My chart was for 5 degree changes, which I think is really about the maximum level of precision somebody (ie...me) can get on direction in the field. In the course of doing all this math intensive thinking (is that why my head hurts?) I think its very important for a shooter or hunter to know their limitation on accurately generating a firing solution for their "maximum range" and how important it is to have that maximum range at which you are willing to shoot in your head as an actual number, not just a zone between this yardage and that.. For my setup, 1350 has almost exactly 2x the wind correction I use at 1000yds for the same condition. This only reinforces the fact that stuff that worked at 400, don't work at 1000. Ditto for 1350 too. More range means more precision in everything youve gotta do, theres just no way around it. [/QUOTE]
