[QUOTE="DavidleeCole, post: 1717050, member: 85306"] Coriolis effect in the horizontal plane Is the same irrespective of the direction of fire and in the northern hemisphere it is always right so correct left. In the vertical plane you take the cosine of the azimuth and multiply it by the 90° correction. This accounts for elevation correction due to east or west shots. East will have you high and west will have you low. The main factors are latitude, direction of fire and time of flight that will determine the needed correction. For me I like to correct for as much as I can so I will have a precise point of aim and that allows me to center my cone of fire as best as possible. [/QUOTE]
