[QUOTE="JBM, post: 110671, member: 1969"] [ QUOTE ] Which is more likely in the real-world? …..we could argue it until the cows come home [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. [/ QUOTE ] or at least 60 or 70 posts. If I were going to simulate what you have shown, it would be with a canted angle to get the cant error and extra windage to get the offset due to raising the muzzle at the canted angle. I would guess (I haven't done the derivation) that the extra windage would be holderover*sin(cant). I agree that it will introduce an additional error, but I wouldn't call it cant error because the launch angle is the same. [ QUOTE ] I will be convinced when 1000yd competitors start zeroing at 100yds and then applying 'perfectly vertical' holdover in order to reduce their cant errors by a factor of 10. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] There are many other reasons not to do that either... JBM [/QUOTE]
