Maybe this will help..

Shooting is all about angles.
One MOA at 100 yards is roughly 1 inch.
At 1,000 yards it is roughly 10 inches.
So say the wind blows the bullet off it's path by 1 inch at the 50 yard mark.
That would equate to 2 inches at 100 yards, and 20 inches at 1,000 yards.
If the wind would blow the bullet off it's trajectory by 1 inch at 900 yards, then theoretically it would only be 2 inches off at 1,000 yards.
