[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1504333, member: 74902"] This is a real phenomenon. Light refracts in air just as it does in water. It is just more subtle. I believe it is the angle of light, varying density of the air and due to how warm it is that causes this. The longer the shot the more affect it can have. It is kinda like mirage except the target is not bouncing, it is just not really exactly where you perceive it. This is actually a problem in surveying. They have formulas to account for it and take into account the time of day and I believe even temp when surveying. Complicated stuff... [/QUOTE]
