[QUOTE="TheBoctor, post: 1838654, member: 107356"] For shotguns, sometimes it'll seem like it, but most of those effects can be attributed to your non-dominant eye taking over and your POA shifting as a result. It'll look like you "bent" the shot because your POI was laterally drastically different than your supposed POA. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) how if you smudge up the lens on your off-hand eye with some chapstick how that effect will disappear. Very common for the ambidextrous and those with cataracts/ shifting vision. And to add to that, the muzzle of most shotguns/rifles is moving at 2 fps at the absolute fastest (ie when swinging through low house station 8 in skeet). Time-of-flight for any shot where you're swinging a lead is going to be well under half a second, so the maximum theoretical drift would be a foot. That coyote would have to be running 400mph at 400 yds for a 2 fps swing on the muzzle and a half second time-of-flight situation to actually occur. [/QUOTE]
