Another point, if you were a sniper, you would be sighting your rifle to specific ranges based on landmarks where you'd to see the enemy. So you're not just sighting your rifle, you are also figuring out approximate distances.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoAh, that's interesting. Didn't know that.
- Breza 5y agoYeah, there's a lot of math behind distance shooting. Tons of variables to consider.
- Loughla 5y agoIf you want a walk down the maths involved - check out an app called Strelok (Pro) by Igor Borisov. I have no affiliation with this person or this app, other than I use it for extra-long-distance shooting calculations with a conventional rifle and/or air-rifle shooting calculations. It's seriously astounding the math and thought that goes into shooting at long range. It makes me realize why I used to miss all the time as a kid; it's not just point and shoot.
- chrisseaton 5y agoIf you're shooting far enough, you need to account for the Earth rotating out from underneath you while the shot is in flight.
