Keep a written record of the weather conditions and the corresponding elevation and windage for each day's firing. Less elevation will generally be required on hot days; on wet days; in a bright sunlight; with a 6 o'clock wind; or with a cold barrel. More elevation will generally be required on cold days; on very dry days; with a 12 o'clock wind; with a hot barrel; in a dull or cloudy light.
One ball had entered a window, torn its way through two inner walls, and lay against the back wall. "It is a four pound ball," the Major said, taking it up. "I fancy the guns are seven pounders. They have evidently no balls to fit, which accounts for the badness of their firing and the little damage they did; with so much windage the balls can have had but small velocity.
And still they caught birds not, however, without danger to themselves, and not without numerous losses of birds due to my rifle. Their procedure was to toss their hooks and bait over the rail from shelter and slowly to pay the lines out as the slight windage of the Elsinore's hull, spars, and rigging drifted her through the water.
The two who were on either side of Alleyne bent their bows as calmly as though they were shooting at the popinjay at the village fair.

Alleyne gave a gulp in his throat, for the yellow streak seemed to pass through the man; but he still ran forward.
