This is a real ''thinking mans'' question!
Way beyond me..

But then most usually Ive found the wind 'gusts', and to have a real practical value in shooting, wouldn't you have to know the precise strength, speed direction of the wind - as you release and at several points up to the boss?
Now that sounds to me like one or more calculations I don't want to make when there's so much else going on...I'm sure I'd get on better if I feel the wind, see the flag, watch the grass, hear the tree, 'smell' the air getting denser etc

YET
For checking (in Theory) one arrows performance against another using a wind machine indoors your results may well Upturn all current thinking on which outdoor arrow pattern will win the next World Champs!- I for one would Love to be privvy to that info conducted by someone who doesn't Make the arrows. Very interesting!
A big thumbs up, all power to you! We could soon see arows marked with spine rating and winddrift rate!
