[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2874570, member: 97050"] It all matters. Though I understand the argument shooter wind mattering the most. Once the bullet angles off course it never really goes back to wind zero. What we don’t do is “sighter” shots. This isn’t a bench competition. We don’t even rely on sighters in PRS, which is probably more useful for hunting. In an open field, in an open valley, shooter wind is simply 1/3 of the solution. If the wind at the shooter, mid and target are 5 mph, then wind dope is for 5 mph. Easy day. Unfortunately, that’s not reality. You might be on top of a fairly isolated peak, shooting down into a valley. Wind at your position might be 10 mph with an updraft riding up the mountain, wind at max ord might be 25, then decent into the valley (target) might be a swirling 4 mph. The smaller the target, the more it all matters. [/QUOTE]
