[QUOTE="4mesh063, post: 29324, member: 941"] ( It's pretty easy to dupe a drunk!). Hell Dave, I was relatively sober!. (Had 1 beer). Doesn't say much for my handling alchohol. I see now the effect. The OSU reference was the very first thing I chose to look at and after seeing him say that the effect is to the east regardless of the direction, I took my initial guess to be correct, however, the amount of effect north or south is less or greater than the surface speed at the destination. Gotcha, I stand corrected. Sorry Blaine. Dave also. Dog, I agree, a shoulder fired weapon would have little affect. However, after doing a search on Daves reference to the Falklands, in WW1, I do now vaguely remember a story about that from years ago. The corrected error for the ships was roughly 50 Yards. But since it was corrected for the wrong hemisphere, it amounted to 100 Yards. If that is the case for a projectile which flew say, 10 miles, then at 1000yds, your error from a north shot to a south shot could be 5.68 Yards. If back then they fired projectiles 15 Miles, and I don't remember what ranges they could fire in WW1, in WW2 it was about 16Mi, the error would be 2/3 that or 3.7Meters. That should be easy enough for you to check out Darry. Wait for a super calm day, shoot 1 direction, then switch with the target and shoot the other. I'm leaving for the range in a half an hour and I'd check it myself, but, I shoot to the west at home and tward the east at the range. I'm afraid my example is not going to show much! [/QUOTE]
