Ibhun10 Joined: 09/30/2011 Location: ND	Depending on the caliber and distance, it can affect it alot. I think you correct on your guess at 300 yards. We sighted in yesterday at 200 yards with a 10 - 15 mph cross wind and we were 5 inches left shooting a 25-06 120 grain. So 30 MPH you can more than double it. It pays to practice in all conditions, including wind. Try it, it's actually fun to see how the elements affect trajectory. Shoot straight, stay straight and be safe everyone. kdm Said: Wind anyone???? Holy Rollers this stinks!!

And, I've bow hunted for more than 30 years and this is the fewest deer I have EVER seen. barebackjack Said: Ibhun10 Said: Very true huntorride365.

johnr Joined: 02/18/2004 Location: ND	In western ND the wind is always 40 mph... Found a few does after work yesterday about 8 miles south of Dickinson. Hoping to fill a tag at 11:01 am today, then go for a limit of birds. Most crops are off, and the birds are bunched in tree rows and any remaining cover. Then drink some brews and have a fish fry.

nd_bowhunter Joined: 02/08/2006 Location: ND	Thought the question was interesting, so I looked it up... A .308 with 150's does about 2840 fps. If sighted at 1.8 inches high at 100 ( right on at 200), puts it 8 inches low at 300. Wind drift at 300 yds. 10mph is 8.1 inches, 20 mph is 16.2 inches, 30 mph is 24.3 inches, and a 40 mph wind pushes it 32.4 inches. There you go....

That means I would have hit'em squarely in the "eggmaker". I'm just not going to shoot that far in this wind. It's not worth wounding a deer. Thanks for the info. Good stuff all around.
