Affects of wind

[econo]

How much do you think wind can change your point of impact?
Lets say 10 to 15 mph winds at 40 yards. Do you think it will blow your poi off as much as 3 to 4 inches?

Probably more like 6-8" in a 15mph wind.

15mph cross wind at 40 shootin 7's at 1090fps prolly around yes 12"!!!!!

And in the fed FC wad it can be more critical if the petals are adversely affected. In the woods you seldom have a problem but in open areas and funneled areas such as gas lines or power lines things can happen.

I was shooting this afternoon.  Im not entirely sure whether my point of impact was off or if it was the wind, but there was about a 15 mph wind and I was hitting about a foot off at 40 yards.  I have to shoot again and see if it was wind or not.

same here, mine wasn't that bad, but it was jumping around alot. I was begining to think my scope was going bad! 1 shot would be 4 in. left and the other dead on
