[QUOTE="Sami, post: 613259, member: 40444"] No, I wasn't calling you out and I was worried it would come out that way but it just struck to be the opposite of being "anal". I know on the Snipers Hide many guys are very picky about the subject and using IPHY is against the "religion". :cool: If one really was that way, calculating/estimating wind drift would require a computer and specialized software. First you would have to estimate wind magnitude and also angle for EACH section of the shooting lane. Then you would have to input in the statistical chance the wind will change and by how much. I personally don't feel 500 yards is a long range that requires precision calculations but once the range is 1000 yards, wind certainly isn't a constant value through the whole travel distance. This is going back to my earlier post about calculating drop being with constants (gravity) while wind and target movement were variables. Pair that windage thing with the fact that many use a trajectory chart where wind angle is assumed to be 90 degrees. If you were serious, at least use a matrix...
