A few weeks ago, I went to my usual 100 yard range on a day when the wind kicked up more than expected. I normally won't shoot in that kind of wind but I made the drive and tried to make the best of it. It was my worst day of shooting ever with unexplained flyers and generally poor groupings. The target end of the range is closed in and it was really swirling down there.
For purposes of shooting groups, I don't think you can count on a steady wind. If it's very windy, you are adding another variable that you can't control. On the other hand, days like that represent an opportunity to practice and hone your skills at estimating and adjusting for the wind.
