The post speaks for itself. In a no wind situation like heavywalker says, dial and hold on the target. Yes, there is coriolis depending on the azimuth of fire and spin drift which you will account for if you want to be precise.

Have I encountered zero wind holds at 1000?

Of course. If you never have, you haven't shot much. I've killed a couple of things at long range, 934, 800, 760, 840 (minimal wind hold of less than a quarter mil) etc with zero wind holds. How do I know there's no wind? It's called "reading the wind" and if you can't do it, you shouldn't be shooting animals at long range.

I don't. Do you?

I shoot a hell of a lot more steel at long range than animals with no wind flags set up. You may want to try it.



I've had minimal wind holds but zero wind is a first for me I have killed game animals up to 1031 yards and had very little wind but it was still there.

Living and doing most of my shooting/hunting on the coast makes for very few calm days and none that I have had with zero wind.
