English term or phrase: windage

Ich übersetze ein Computerspiel, bei dem gerade ein Scharfschütze auf dem Dach sitzt und auf seinen Schussbefehl wartet. Dabei nimmt er noch ein paar Einstellungen an seinem Gewehr vor, u. a.

Setting windage left fifteen.

Auf diesesr website http://usa.stoegerairguns.com/safe_shooting/ habe ich einen ganz guten Einblick bekommen was "windage" ist, jetzt fehlt mir nur noch der deutsche Begriff. Wer kann weiterhelfen?

Danke im Voraus!

Seitenein/-verstellung

Explanation:
Erst hatte ich seitlichen Vorhalt gedacht, aber das bezieht sich mehr auf das eigentliche absichtliche "Danebenzielen" - dies geht mehr in die Richtung Seitenverstellung mittels Seitenverstellschraube
