[QUOTE="MAX, post: 29326, member: 184"] Blaine, long time Sport! Don't think you'll find anything that counters McCoy's teachings on the subject since he is right. But then, who would believe me? I also recall from his book that he frequently disregarded those things that had no significant effect when doing his calculation. Ex. Coriolis Effect is signicant for long range(indirect)fire, but NOT for flat fire trajectories, which are the subject we discuss. He did say that fire parallel to lines of latitude are NOT affected which is logical. Levity Break: "East is east, west is west, and never the twain shall meet" - Kipling, NOT talking about coriolis effect. "east is least, west is best" - student pilots learning about magnetic variation. "when I shoot bullets vertically and try to catch them in my teeth, I always run to the west." - Max See Ya [/QUOTE]
