how dose the ballistics of a bullet change when shooting over water if at all?
by shooting over water i mean shooting from shore to shore.

I'm curious if anyone has any theoretical knowledge on shooting over water.
Not that it's going to add up to a whole lot correction wise but in the winter an open body of water is warmer than the land and you will have rising air above it.I'm curious as to what time of year you guys were shooting over water.
The reason I ask is because in the spring it will take the water longer to warm than the surrounding land so in effect you would be shooting through a cooler mass of air that is directly over the water, exactly the opposite in the fall.
Now weather or not that would have any measurable effect on point of impact is beyond me, but since were talking theory I thought I'd pitch it out there.
