Thread: Which is the best wind meter for wind estimation

An exercise in simplicity I'm sure but would it be true to say.....

that one inch of drift approximating 1 MOA at 100m with continue to be 1 MOA = 10" approx drift at 1000m with no further wind

And no wind 0-900 but 1 inch of drift 900-1000 will result in 1 inch total dirt = 0.1 MOA....

Same amount of wind at different ranges...?

I assume this is why we average the wind for the total distance calc?

Wouldn't the projectile slow down more so over time it will blow further? So it wouldn't be moving at 1 inch every 100m it would be more the further it got out

Toby you should see Gillies explanation about that at the beginning of the thread. This understanding wind is a science and I reckon even if you got your masters degree in it you could still get it wrong.
