I am fairly new to bowhunting and just curious how much the wind affects the flight of an arrow. Forcast winds for my area tomorrow are 10-15mph. On windy days do you adjust your aiming point to compensate for the wind or does it matter? Don't know if it matters, but I am shooting carbon arrows and about 245 fps.
Thanks in advance!!!

It isn't going to make much difference, as long as you are taking reasonable shots to begin with (no 50 yard shots).

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
