[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 568785, member: 29966"] What that drop means is that if your gun was sighted in for 100 yards and you shoot at your 400 yard target you would miss low by 30". The diagram that Scott posted shows you that you can compensate for this drop by adjusting your scope so that your bullet will hit where your line of sight is pointing at a given range. Another way you could look at it: hold 30" above where you want to hit at 400 yards and the bullet will follow the trajectory as shown in his diagram and still hit where you wanted it to hit even though according to your line of sight you were aiming 30" high. All this trajectory talk could be negated if we shot projectiles that weren't affected by gravity. Ex. Laser gun. [/QUOTE]
