[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2898170, member: 116563"] Excellent and well detailed post! Yeah basically, hold edge of vitals with the lower wind call and if it gusts you’re in the vitals even more hopefully. Live with the outcome of a poor shot at those distances if you decide to shoot in varying wind. I was just out shooting long range in the wind the other day. A 5 MPH wind can play hell at 1200 or even 1000 yards. For me to drop a long bomb in the field, I’d need 2 MPH or less to have legit confidence, or I’m getting closer. I shot a buck at 974 yards last year. The faintest breeze from left to right and I had just verified my data at 1100 yards the previous day. You’re still hoping for a good shot at those distances when that bullet leaves the barrel. It is no guarantee when shooting across a big canyon. Live with the outcome if its good OR bad, or don’t shoot. [/QUOTE]
