Recently installed Strelok and just going through settings to familiarize myself with the program. Looks like the default setting is 10% of the crosswind is factored into the elevation solution? I remember something from high school physics about spinning objects creating lift. I'm assuming leave all the corrections such as Coriolis/spin-drift/deflection off, based on some posts that I'm reading here?

Maybe because of the Magnus effect: A left>right wind will spin the bullet high (with a right-twist barrel), and a right>left wind will spin the bullet low.

I had heard AJ or aerodynamic jump mentioned here but wasn't familiar with it and had to look it up. Sounds like that's what the correction is factoring.

So, leave the corrections (AJ, Coriolis, spin-drift) off for now?
