[QUOTE="drbill, post: 681525, member: 11198"] So if the elk I'm going to eat is standing by a range flag and that range flag is drooping a little more than the wind conditions appear to be and I'm a little more damp I should expect the bullet to be just a smiggen faster when it reaches my meal and therefore may not need to raise up on his chest as much (distance dependent). I believe Linda Miller mentions this in "The wind book for rifle shooters". The most "common" thing to think is the humidity will make the air "thicker". In reality it makes the air "thinner" (for reasons you just explained). Is that fair to say? or am I wrong? [/QUOTE]
