[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1495738, member: 95235"] A full value wind is 90 degrees to the flight path of the bullet. This headwind up a slope would be significantly greater than 90 degrees. My geometry is too rusty to do the calculation of the 1 degree up slope wind vs the arc of the bullet's path but I pretty sure it's greater than 170 degrees. Someone more knowledgeable can weigh in if there is a ballistic principle that will account for more rise than I can see here. What my dad used to do was peak over the top with the naked eye. I was wondering if maybe you "flinched", for lack of a better term, trying to ensure that you pressed into the gun and didn't lose your view through the scope. It's just a speculation as are all of these hypotheses. [/QUOTE]
