[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 1772159, member: 68421"] If you're in camp and your altimeter says your camp is rising, you can start singing "Looks like, we're in for nasty weather." (Bad Moon Rising) The old sailer sez "The glass [Barometric Pressure] is falling, hour by hour. The glass will fall forever. But though you break the bloody glass, you still won't stop the weather." Reduced air pressure at altitude is what makes high country hunting such a physical pull. And reduced air pressure means reduced air density/wind resistance/air pressure for your bullet. Gravity, for all practical purposes, is still a drag on our lard-laden butts. [/QUOTE]
