[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 183149, member: 4885"] +1 ss7m Also, for me its not totally about the amount of wind, but the readability of the wind. If it is variable, its REALLY tough. A 10mph variable wind is tougher to shoot in than a steady 10mph wind. Also, terrain has a HUGE amount of impact. A 5mph wind across the point I am on, may give me almost no info about the wind the bullet would see on its way to the other side of the canyon. It's all about readability, but obviously the amount of wind has an impact on that. The other thing that matters is the rifle you are shooting. I need a much better read on the wind to shoot my 7mm RM at 500yds than I do to shoot my 338Allen Magnum. AJ [/QUOTE]
