Kentucky Windage

Kentucky Windage is the practice of applying a horizontal adjustment of the point of aim for wind (windage) without the use of any physical or mechanical adjustments on the weapon.

The sharpshooter eyeballed the target and applied Kentucky windage.

Kentucky Windage

When shooting a rifle, the adjusted point of aim when compensating for wind.

Kentucky Windage

A guess or SWAG at a subject. A fudge factor.

From the term for roughly aiming a rifle while allowing for any crosswind.

So, we'll need 100 units, with a fudge factor of 10% and a little Kentucky Windage let's make that 150 units.

Old Kentucky Windage

Either any Kentucky bourbon or whiskey.

Also a mixed drink containing Kentucky bourbon whiskey and blackberry brandy.

I got fucked up on the old Kentucky Windage last night.
