Ballistic compass rose?

Post by SnipeWench »

Hi Guys,

During my research, I discovered somewhere on the Internet a diagram showing the effects of wind/spindrift on the flight path of a shot, but now for the life of me, I can't find it.

It shows roughly where to hold off given wind direction/spindrift.

Sean, Leanne had a copy of the diagram with her on Sunday.

Can someone throw me a cluestick as to where it is?

Cheers,
- bec

G'day Bec,

This is also a good thing to refer to.

Most Full Borers utilise this scale.
