[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 45765, member: 3"] Antslayer You're correct but this is a fairly extreme example you offer but still inside Mr Barrett's stated 1500 yard offering. 800 yards at a 40 degree angle, note that I stated "moderate" angles although I offered the Dave King "super exageration" of 90 as out of the question, maybe I should have stated 39 degrees. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] We must all learn to walk before we can run and my belief is that Warren Barrett is in the walk stage of the game wanting to break directly into a run, no disrespect meant. I see no need to befuddle the issue with the extremes of conditions although he states 1500 yards at one point(?). You have already offered that there are other "more correct" methods and I submit that for the vast majority of cases the use of any of the three (3) common methods will be sufficient so perhaps Mr Barrett could use what perhaps 99% of other folks are using with some degree success and when his attempts exceed his method(s) he'll continue the quest.
