[QUOTE="paphil, post: 615175, member: 17745"] Like I said earlier , what I'm doing is to help with the doping the wind. What is pretty generic at 1000 is not generic at 2000. When each degree temp change is 3 inches of verticle and 100 feet elevation is worth 6 inches of verticle, you better have a program to help! I'm not a scientist ,just want to help people shoot. I'm mainly concerned with hunting out to1000 and teaching the basics of what people need to know to make good shots. When you add angles to the shot, it gets even more complicated. I doubt the Canadian had any advanced math ability to shoot 2600 yards but he did it anyway! Be aware of the variables and you can correct for them. I do admire those of you who have the ability to calculate what you need to do to make long shots. But that said, I remember a similar post where a "scientist claimed that the only place to truely test spin drift would be in a vacuum! Da.... Without air there would be no spin drift! I don't know for sure but I would suppose there would be less drift at 10,000 feet than at sea level. Thinking is a good thing and if I get you thinking, someone will invent a better way than what I'm doing. [/QUOTE]
