[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1495917, member: 26535"] I may have missed something in the thread(I re read so I do not believe so) but If I am reading this correctly this is not how wind will interact with the bullet in this situation. If the ground was relatively flat aside from the 1 degree slope the wind would impart the force at a 1 degree angle not 90 degrees as it appears you are suggesting. Again maybe I am missing something. This would have a similar effect as having a 1201 or 1159 wind from the side and yes it would move the bullets travel but it would be very little. Yes, if the wind is following a canyon wall up to the shooters position on the edge with a steep drop off the wind will move upwards having a rather large upward effect on the bullet but it does not sound like that is the situation he was in. This is my favorite rear bag so far in size medium I have tried upwards of ten different bags I find that with the lightweight ones I occasionally get vertical. The sturdier the rear bag the more consistent you will be. You can become proficient with lightweight fill bags but it is more difficult.
