Thread: Longer Range Shots

In My ballistic app I always have a 2mile 90 degree wind set in. It just gives me an idea in a light wind what my bullet my do in the slightest puff at my given range. If I think there may be a tiny wind mid gully I will hold half the windage. Means at worst I will still only be half wrong but still a lethal shot I would only use this in a situation like yours where wind is virtually nill. Anything more and I dial for wind
Practicing in wind also helps

2mph wind is probably not enough.
6mph is a pretty standard light breeze, 3mph is probably the minimum most people will start thinking they need to hold for wind.

If you are only going to write down one wind value make it 6mph. Then you can double if for a strong(ish) wind and halve it for a breeze.
