Im new to this, so please, take it easy on the new guy
When I load any calculator they always have a crosswind already set (the one Im using right now has: "Wind Direction is: 3.0 o'clock and a Wind Velocity of: 23.6 Kilometres per hour"- and thats preset, I didnt set that).
My question, until now I have always deleted wind values figuring that if I base my charts and stuff on calculations that are based on a windy day, that means Im going to be shooting slightly left, or slightly to the right to accomodate this non existant wind
I always thought its much better to get my calculations for zero wind and then make whatever adjustments I need when Im out in the field.
THat still seems like good logic to me.
But the fact that every single calculator I have ever used has a pre-set wind value---- thats making me question my logic. Right now Im in the middle of making some new charts for the new rifle.... and Im not sure whether to leave the crosswind in, or set it to 0 like I always do.
ANy advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
