Interesting physics debate that one.

2 schools of thought

A) wind at start is more important, coz it kicks the projectile off its course, and sideways momentum does the rest

B) wind is like gravity, it has more of an effect during the later stages of projectile flight, when the projectile is traveling slower and takes more time to cover distance, giving the wind more time to have an effect.
