[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2317065, member: 61747"] You to have a different level of laziness to figure this stuff out. I was a math wizard in school and decided that stuff was hurting my brain. I do as little as possible now. My thing now is how fast can I get on a target. I am passionate about wolf hunting and they often don't lend the time for gadgetry. By the time my leica ranges the target and sends me the dial to I have a wind solution in process. By the time I'm on target and dialed up that wind hold is being conducted. Its very simple math. For example .2 moa per 5mph wind. So a 500 yard target in a 5 mph wind is .2x5= 1 moa. 800 is .2x8=1.6. half value is super easy at .1. 10 mph is .4 so 5x.4 = 2. I do use my app or kestrel but only for confirming and playing scenario's out. Now the remaining issue is vertical wind component. I know AJ in my head is .25 for 10 or .15 for 5. I am way more concerned with drafts and know that typically if am holding 2 moa for wind I am likely going to adjust .5 for vertical. Vertical is the hardest thing to figure out in my opinion.
