    I dial.
    I also use the method where I do my best to judge the wind. Figure out how far out I could possibly be then dial either half or the quarters of that value. My aiming point must still be a killing shot and worse case scenario must also be a killing shot. If it is outside of this I need to get closer or change angle so wind less affects shot.
    Eg wind value equates to 6" of drift. Dial 3 or 4 " left. Worse case scenario bullet drifts 2 or 3 inches right of point of aim.
    Prefer animals facing down wind so bullet drifts further forward or misses rather than gut shot
