Description
<p>1. Determine the wind speed.</p>
<p>2. Divide the wind speed by the Q.W. number.</p>
<p>3. Multiply the Q.W. dope by the quotient.</p>
<p>4. Determine the SIN of your wind angle.</p>
<p>5. multiply the product by the SIN of the wind angle.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>EX.1 - 600 yards, with a 12 mph wind from 1:00 with a 4 mph gun</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>1. 12 MPH wind</p>
<p>2. 12 / 4 = 3</p>
<p>3. .6 x 3 = 1.8 Mils</p>
<p>4. 1:00 = .5 sin </p>
<p>5. 1.8 x .5 = .9 Mils to adjust for the wind</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>EX.2 - 600 yards with a 12 mph wind from 1:30</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>1. 12 mph</p>
<p>2. 12 / 4 = 3</p>
<p>3. .6 x 3 = 1.8 Mils</p>
<p>4. 1:30 = .7 SIN </p>
<p>5. 1.8 x .7 = 1.26 Mils to adjust for the wind</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>EX.3 - 700 yards, 15 mph wind from 2:00</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>1. 15 x 7 = 2.14</p>
<p>2. .7 x 2.14 = 1.49 Mils</p>
<p>3. 1.49 x .86 = 1.28 Mils</p>
