[QUOTE="nimrod_gn, post: 1759296, member: 107824"] Anybody know how typical ballistics software/apps handle how it calculates wind drift for long uphill/downhill shots at steep angles? Specifically when you have a shot as shown in the picture that will generate an elevation hold for 693 yards but the line of sight and also wind exposure is 800 yards. Seems to me that probably this isn't accounted for by any app or software and that we as the shooter must make the necessary adjustment for the wind hold because if we feed in a range of 693 it will just kick back windage adjustment for 693 when in reality the bullet will have a full 800 yards of wind exposure.[ATTACH=full]158879[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
