wind almost never blows evenly or predictably ... it is usually more like the confusion at the bottom of a waterfall ... the fun of shooting 22 rimfire ( essentially the BC of a BB ) even at 50 yards is watching them fly left and right like little bees to a flower ...
if you don't use wind flags, you might get lucky and the wind averages out and the bullet flies to the crosshairs ...
but hardly ever when you need it to ... . good wind shooters usually win .
i might mention i am pretty sure bullets also bounce off of cold and hot layers of air ... it ain't easy out there ...
