[QUOTE="Aussie Hunter Steve, post: 2901123, member: 53311"] wind effect in simple form goes a bit like this- Suppose there is a 2” wind drift in the first 100yds and no more wind affect from that distance, then at 1000yds the bullet will be 20” off course….. If there is only wind for the last 100yds the bullet will arrive at the 900yd mark on line, and if velocity is only half of muzzle velocity it will drift 4” in the final 100yds, reaching the 1000yd mark only 4” off course. In summary, the bullet will drift more as distance increases and the velocity reduces but wind closest to the muzzle will have greater affect on the overall drift. [/QUOTE]
