Thread: Wind reading accuracy while hunting

The reason for asking is after reading The Maximum Effective Range of Small Arms. I realised how much wind affects maximum range. Let’s say you have a 0.3mil (~1moa) rifle and your deer vitals are 200mm across. I thought you’d be good out to 667m (200/0.3). But now adding wind in let’s say you’re accurate to +/-3km/h (I’ll assume that’s 0.15mil at 450m). That max range is now 450m. The target is 0.44mil, and the wind error plus the rifle is 0.45mil.
