    Meaning
    700 meters is 7 hundreds
    3 m/sec wind
    7x3= 21 clicks on scope.

    The breaking point is 800 meters, do a +1 there.
    For instance 900 meters is 9 hundreds +1 = 10 clicks per msec.

    In terms of math, it is not absolutely correct but the error in the wind dope will hide that.

    Todd Hodnett... I detest sales people that tweakes to get a sale.
