You know all that wind drift stuff is no matter how ya put it just a WAG. Or pretty much is where we do most of our hunting for speed goats. Ya might actually get close though. In any of the really long range shootin if the wind is blowing pretty good over here..over where the critter is it may just be a LOT different...even the opposite way. and if it's blowin 30 here it may only be 10 over there. I had one of those exbal programs on a palm..takes too much time on spooked game. Neat for constants though. And I was still kinda guessing some. Almost bought another one not long ago.. But I did an about face on my shooters lately and figure I'll buy the rifles first..the other stuff later....and keep on guessing...LOL

I have a drop and wind drift chart on my long range guns. About any program will work for figureing drop as you should field check all of them befor you hunt with them. Wind drift is an art more than a science. I carry a wind meter, but tells me only the the wind speed where I am standing and I have seen 4 flags in 100 yards all pointing in different directions. Long range shooting takes a good rifle scope that track accurately, a range finder, a wind meter, accurate rifle and practice. High BC bullets, heave for caliber bullets are a big plus but you will need a barrel with a faster than normal twist to stablize them.
