Corrected entry: During the first 3/4 of the movie, the wind is blowing very heavily (the snow is flying to the side), but when the snipers aim they aim directly at the different people. Real snipers would know you had to move a bit to the left or right to make up for how far the bullet would be blown off course. The directors chose not to have them aim off-center because it might be confusing, seeing someone shoot four feet to the left and hit them right in the head.

Corrected entry: The scope on Bishop's rifle retains the protective covers on for the length of the movie.
Correction: Bishop is not a marksman and would not use the sight, particularly since his shooting is from extremely close range.

Correction: Presumably the sniper has to first locate the target, which is what we see, then correct for the wind. The director chose not to show us the correction which is not a mistake. In most of the scenes with a sniper the targets are moving or running so it's very difficult to say for sure if the sniper has corrected for the effect of the wind or not.
