[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 51628, member: 34"] Hello Dave These figures seem to be very high in the difficulty factor but,I'm not sure Figuring the windage factor in, I would place it as the standard amount of 200 yards=2X (2 times the distance) plus 2X(Wind factor) =4 for the wind factor and yardage increase. Not figuaring anything else in this is what I had figured. 200 yards 4X (2X as difficult plus the 2X for wind) 300 yards 6X (3 times as dificult plus 3X wind factor) 400 yards 8X 500 yards 10X 600 yards 12X 700 yards 14x 800 yards 16x 900 yards 18x 1000 yards 20x 2000 yards 40x 2500 yards 50x I'm not sure if this is totally correct but, as conversations go at the 1000 yard matches, this is what many say it is. Wind factor certainly has to be considered plus a MAJOR consideration has to be the velocity decrease in the bullet over the path to the target. Lets say you start out the bullet at 3000 FPS at the muzzle and end up with a velocity of 1000 fps at the 1000 yard target, you have lost 66% of your velocity which is something that MUST be considered. This velocity loss alone will increase the difficulty factor. Light changes may be another factor to be considered? Possibly my figuares above are too low. Maybe Warren would have some insight into this one. Later Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
