[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 45768, member: 3"] Antslayer There really isn't a correct or incorrect as I see it. There's an easy and difficult and depending on the accuracy required one selects the method. Hence my "buffing a turd" comment previously. If the target zone is large and forgiving (all that's required is a hit in the target zone to accomplish the desired objective) the effort require/expended should not exceed that necessary for the task at hand. You had previously stated the "real guys" use this "correct" method and not the "other" method. Being the type person I am, had I been Mr Barrett I'd of headed off into the "correct method" as stated by you and ended up with a conditionally correct (and more precise) but not broad view of the option(s). I believe Mr Barrett had already read your offering before he got to mine (read in posted order) and what I was offering was what I considered he should use for his requested application (a target of large dimensions in a moderate distance & angle application (discount his second post of 1500 yards)). This is a "hot" topic with several camps, the "okay, it'll work" and the "perfectionists" being at the ends of the spectrum. I see these things, options/methods, as tools that I pick and choose as perceived conditions warrant. 3.14 works for PI() and so does 3.14159265 (which I know/recall from memory (wasted brain cells mostly)). The short answer to your question would probably be, "he had too many options so I though I'd push him a little bit toward the "incorrect" but easier and probably sufficient method". Could be my bad but I often head down the dead-end road of questionable/bad examples. [/QUOTE]
