How much does wind affect flight?
17yardish shot with 15mph side wind. Using guillotines. I was right on the center of his neck. I shot when I got home and was dead on so nothing is wrong with my sights. Might have flinched but it felt like I did everything right.[&:]Oh yeah, MONSTEROUS bird that was going to destroy my B-mobile.[>:].

RE: How much does wind affect flight?
Those big ol' wings (blades) on the Guillotines will catch wind a lot worse than a normal head, too. They recommend 20 yards max for those things even in good conditions. I wouldn't want to use 'em in a heavy breeze, especially in a crosswind.
If I did use them, I'd make up at least a 500 gn, high FOC arrow to carry them. But that's just me.
