[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 307384, member: 11717"] Michael, I believe you are probably right and I stand corrected after researching this a little which I should have done before typing. Although I haven't found any articles that go into a technical explantion yet as to the effect on external ballisitcs. So I think there may still be some question as to how a moving objects track will affect its CE. Still researching it although what I've found seems to back up what you have said. The reason for my statement is that coriolis effect is essentially the movement of an object (target) on the surface of the Earth as the surface of the Earth moves while spinning on its axis. In My minds eye it would seem that movement of an object on a spinning surface of the Earth would be more pronounced going N-S or S-N. Tracking E-W or W-E ther would be no relative movement of the target because both shooter and target are both moving in the same direction along the same linear path. At the N Pole every direction is South and vise versa at the S pole, so that backs up my theory in that case. At the Equator, the Earth's surface is moving its fastest, a little more than 1000 mph so it puzzles me why there would be no CE at the Equator, shooting S-N? Puzzled and still researching. -MR [/QUOTE]
