[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 127141, member: 10"] Were you shooting in an area that was not flat?? A tail wind that comes down on your shooting position will cause down drafts and lower shot placement. A tail wind that runs up a hill to your target can cause updrafting that will cause your bullets to hit high. If your shooting over small hills at midrange you can also see some minor updrafting over these humps as well and cause slight vertical impact increases. Up and down drafts can raise all sorts of issues so unless your shooting over a perfectly flat range, you can see some effect on target from a tail wind. Generally at 100 yards this is not a concern so if your jumping 2" at 100 yards I would say there is something mechanical to look into or you are holding your rifle in a different manor then before. What rifle are you shooting, brand and style? Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
