That is an excellent download. It's on my desktop now!
So if my calculations are correct with a 50MPH wind (80 KPH) the wind drift is about 20 inches at 250 yds.
On a broadside buck facing into the wind I would need to hold on the brisket to make a kill zone shot.
Even with my bipod down the wind was making it difficult to hold steady.
Good shot not to try.
