[QUOTE="rm76, post: 2901144, member: 2467"] Obviously judging and compensating for wind in real world shooting/hunting conditions is more of an art than a science. However, science can easily resolve the theoretical question of whether wind at the shooter or at the target influences point of impact more. I don't have the expertise to do this, but surely someone on this site has the knowledge and expertise in physics to make this comparison, and I hope someone will undertake this task. The question is simple: would a full value wind within the first 100 yards of the shooter affect distance of impact from the target more or less than the same full value wind within a 100 yards of the target (say at 1000 yards) with no wind in between -- given real ballistic parameters of BC, velocity, etc.? My bet is that wind within the first 100 yards in this theoretical will have the greatest effect on impact distance from the point of aim. [/QUOTE]
