Thread: Windplex reticle explained?

If the ballistic app is telling you 3.something, and you are at max magnification, then yes.

Gauging wind strength is one of the hardest things to do. Even with a wind meter like a kestrel, you only get it at the location.

Have a look at Thomas Haugland on Youtube (Norway on here), he had some good wind estimation techniques (in m/second) looking at vegetation. Terrain can have a massive impact, if you are shooting over a gully, the flight path is normally in faster wind than what you see at ground level.

In very rough terms 1 m/s is about 2 mph

Easiest way is to have a decent backdrop, and lots of people looking for the shot fall. Then use your reticle to measure the size of the correction and apply it. Having a brake etc on the rifle helps a lot with seeing shot fall.
