Why do we ignore the horizontal?

[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1167116, member: 50867"] I focus on the vertical because, in theory, the oscillations are cemetrical. That is, the distance of the outer edge of the oscillation arc from center should be relatively the same throughout the oscillation period. Depending of MV, the round registers on target at a slightly different position of the oscillation arc with each shot. Because there are more atmospheric fluctuations affecting horizontal than there are affecting vertical, it's the vertical dispersion that I use as a basis for determine the accuracy of the load. Now all that may or may not have merit. But it's worked for me for fifty years and I'm too old to change my ways. :) [/QUOTE]
