[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2898292, member: 97050"] As far as there is no limit; there’s always a limit, but the math can’t quantify nature. On the kestrel, the average is just that. Your wind 2 however is the peak, which is still averaged. Already, that’s a more useful number. Imo, it depends on time of flight, as it could very well be in the middle or a higher wind at max ord could make it a higher peak than your captured. The guys I compete against, including myself have a higher than 18% wind call to hit success rate. Marines in my class at sniper school never got a “redo” because wind changed in any testing criteria…and there was a higher than 18% success rate. So clearly, there’s an element that exceeds the math. Same with extreme distance. Ko2m comes to mind. My point being is the math shows it’s difficult, but shooters show it’s possible all the time. Even under pressure. There’s more to it than the math. [/QUOTE]
