FUDD Military Precision Shooter needs schooling.

Guess I need a lot of instruction, but on the interwebs it won't be OJT. Help Me!

What is the Coriolis effect? Does Right hand or left hand twist have anything to do with this if I'm in Alaska or New Zealand? Does it matter if upwind or cross wind when I take a shot? All I've ever hunted are critters with Projectile Weapons, yet I've heard critters with Hoofed are much harder to stalk. Can Y'all help me? Thank You.

Shooting 2k you should have noticed

Well, you might just buy the book, Applied Ballistics for Long-Range Shooting.... Gyroscopic (spin) Drift and Coriolis Effect. It's just a thought,
Cheers

You noticed that as well. Where did Darrel go, i wonder if small lady is back?

It is a reason you can say for missing at long range.


I would imagine most misses are due to these fundamentals….
1) too few shots in zero'ing
2) lack of hit probability validation in load testing (too few shots in load testing)
3)) scope don't hold zero

How do you suppose the "Flat Earthers" counter this?

My understanding is that a left hand twist in the northern hemisphere will cause spin drift that cancels out the coriolis effect to some extent. Right hand twist does the same in Southern Hemisphere.
But that may be 100% internet BS also.

So there is more than meets the eye here?

Trolling is an ait skill and you don't earn a patch, just a recognition citation.

I let my eyes meet his posts to date, and geezo.
