[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 539986, member: 30902"] As the graphic I posted shows the target does not remain constant relative to the line of flight of the bullet on such a shot. I've always however been taught that at the ranges we are talking about it's simply negligible. I'm beginning to wonder if the program he's using calculates some affect on the actual flight of the bullet relative to something akin to centrifugal force which I've not ever considered. If you think about a spinning ball if you drop a little water on it's top axis the water will naturally gravitate towards the equator and then "spin off" of the ball. If this is the case I'm actually learning something new for a change because I would have never considered such an effect to have any significance in point of impact. [/QUOTE]
