[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1648933, member: 96226"] For what you've got going on and for what you're doing there's only 4 things you need to be paying any attention to [B]at all[/B] and here they are in order of magnitude: Drop, Target Motion, Wind, Air Density (read temperature because small changes in barometric pressure don't have near the effect people think it does but modest air temperature changes can have pretty dramatic effects at long range).
