[QUOTE="fatrack, post: 539945, member: 21853"] Hey Phorwath, I'm thinking about the Coriolis effect- In regard to a shot along a North or South trajectory, my gut tells me the target would "move away" from the aim point faster than an East-West shot. I would even be inclined to think a East-West shot (small arms) should have negligable effect because the target is moving almost directly towards or away from the origin of fire. Can you post a Coriolis correction for a shot fired either N-S at 45 latitude for comparison to the E-W correction you gave? Interesting stuff! [/QUOTE]
