[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1216634, member: 8873"] [B]"Shooting a mile. How hard is it?"[/B] Its easy, just point the muzzle at the right angle and voila! Hitting a certain spot with any consistency is another thing all together.:D Just kidding of course. Good points posted by others, everything needs to be taken into consideration. Another thing is something you will have a hard time factoring in is the wind speed at your bullets maximum ordinance (highest point in its trajectory). It could be tree top level or more in places. Without knowing the terrain or vegetation you will be around its hard to say how to handle it. Maybe figure what the max ord is and fly a kite at that height with a streamer to check the wind? Send up balloons or light a fire and watch the smoke. Am I kidding...maybe...:rolleyes: Sighter rounds (cheaters) (registration to mortars) are nice too, and the easiest way to figure it out.
