This information could be used alongside the knowledge previously acquired, but first, we needed to establish the direction of the wind, a trivial task. The book detailed an example with a full wind (ninety degrees) with a target that is five-hundred yards out with a wind speed of five, we can say that the compensation required was eleven inches, half that of the ten miles per hour value.
This all combined with the minutes of an angle that she had previously studied. The required adjustment of eleven inches at five-hundred yards, since a single minute was equal to five inches at this range, Yoko needed to rotate her scopes windage knob by 2.25 into the wind. Putting the book down for a second, Yoko lifted her crossbow up and looked for this knob on her weapon. She found it on the side of the scope and attempted to adjust it to the correct setting.
From doing so she discovered that her particular weapon worked in quarter increments, as such it required nine rotations, each time she did so, she heard a small clicking noise. This lets her know that the adjustment had been made, of course, this would change how she aimed the weapon in that she would not have to adjust her true aim at all. Where she aimed at the target is where she would strike, as far as windage was concerned.
Taking the shot at six-hundred yards seemed to be an even simpler equation, the book even stated that the adjustment to the scope was not required. The drift was sixteen inches, apparently, this was the average distance at the hip for a male shinobi, if this was indeed true then the youth did not need to adjust the scope but rather offset her shot by her perceived distance of their hips. What a helpful tip!
