Description
My home range throws a 6 or 12 o'clock wind at me many days, and at 1,000 yards it's brutal. I'd take a full-value wind any day. Here's why.
800 yards, 10 mph, holding our best guess:
🔴 Called 12 o'clock, held nothing, but it's swinging 11 to 1 → 23% hits
⚪ Called 3 o'clock, held full value, but it's swinging 2 to 4 → 96% hits
Same 30° swing. At 12 o'clock it flips the crosswind from left to right, a 10 mph spread. At 3 o'clock the crosswind only moves 1.3 mph.
Respect the headwind. 💨
