Blazer, Flash, Max Hunter, Fusion vanes or similar are a big advantage in windy conditions. Back in the old days with 5" feathers our arrows almost turned sideways in flight on real windy days. We really had to get close back then. Now with bubbles on our sights you can keep some distance by leaning into the bubble or out of a bubble to compensate for windy conditions. It takes a good bit of practice, but it does allow you to maintain some level of extended range. Going with a broadhead/insert combination that achieves 12.5 to 15% FOC will help also.
I carry a back up bow that is much heavier than my primary bow. It has a smaller quiver, single pin sight with a large bubble, heavier stabilizer and is set up to shoot Easton FMJ's with brass inserts, four fletched Flash vanes with 15% FOC. If conditions get nasty I switch over to it. Doesn't make much of a difference if the wind is gusting, but it definately helps in a strong steady wind.
Still always better to try and get close under those contitions.
