[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2339127, member: 60453"] That info and the fact that the teachers at the schools are mostly retired snipers, and very familiar with and practiced at shooting at distances past 1,000 yards. When firing artillery or Naval guns you have to use tables like this. Even then, a spotter adjusts the first impact, because even if the data is good, there are variations which result in the impact being out by as much as 500 meters at 12,000 meters. For line of site ordinance, differences in conditions at the half-way point of the flight of the bullet will effect where it strikes, but for it to do so, ranges must be fairly extreme or conditions must be extreme. Thanks for the chart. Its been a while since I've seen one. Brings back memories. [/QUOTE]
