[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1496528, member: 26535"] The wind pushing up on the bullet must be accounted for but it is not going to be full value in his case as you are trying to suggest. The wind will be, for the most part, traveling along the ground, which in this case is at a 1 degree angle to the bullet's path. As I stated earlier based on his description of the shooting scenario it would not have caused this large of a shooting solution discrepancy. If he had been shooting across a canyon with a sheer cliff just in front of his shooting position the bullet could have been affected in the manor you are suggesting but it does not sound as if that were the case. Again, I am confident the OP has enough data to diagnose his issue and correct it for the future but I do not want new guys thinking you apply a full value up wind anytime you have an angled shot.
