[QUOTE="Blaine Fields, post: 24280, member: 183"] Warren, great to hear from you. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR> Those arguing that bullets cannot be tractable belong in the same room with the flat-earthers and those folks who say Apollo 11 landed somewhere in Nevada. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I had quite an argument with one of these flat-earthers that finally got me kicked off that board. Apparently, I didn't pay proper respect to the resident guru in challenging his wisdom. (Actually, you've had a rather vicious run-in with the same correspondent.) Although he wouldn't provide any reference material to support his position, he assured me that 1) bullets remain fixed in attitude from muzzle to target; and, 2) I was out of my depth in trying to discuss the matter with him. He also said that the Ruprecht website was wrong and showed numerous errors and misunderstandings, but failed to give any specifics. I'm glad to hear that your experience supports a result that seems to be intuitive even without the 1880 Army study or Ruprecht's math. I think that I can put this particular matter to rest. Have a good holiday. [/QUOTE]
