[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 848708, member: 63748"] Regardless of the delivery system or number of people involved, ballistics is ballistics with a projectile in flight. It does seem the longer the range or harder the conditions the more enjoyment and satisfaction comes from making a hit on target. Of course reasonable certainty should be the fundamental goal when applied to harvesting animals. Many times I have sat behind a howitzer after computing the ballistics solution for shots well over ten miles away. Same physics and computations required but with more room for accuracy inconsistency due to errors compounded by the time of flight. Coriolis while shooting these distances actually means something. After the shot there is time to take a few bites out of a sandwich followed by sips of Coke before impact. If quick enough another round or two can be shot before the first round impacts. ELR shooting no matter what form or venue is FUN. Much can be taken from the experience of watching your solution fall apart the longer your projectile stays in flight. Shoot long, learn from it, and apply reasonable certainty when it’s time to hunt. [/QUOTE]
