How does wind value affect shooting accuracy?

Wind value describes how wind impacts a bullet. Zero-value wind (head/tail) has minimal effect, while full-value wind (9 or 3 o'clock) causes the most drift. Half-value wind (quartering) has an intermediate effect, requiring shooters to adjust their aim accordingly.
