- causality0 4y agoInteresting. I wonder if laws against firing a gun into the sky were a factor in that decision.
- pdpi 4y agoThe angle between the barrel and the scope is already pretty extreme for a rifle. Can’t imagine it being particularly pleasant to shoot with the scope mounted at the sort of angle you’d need for the shot you’re describing.

- snypher 4y agoI would doubt Wyoming has such a law?
- HighPlainsDrftr 4y agoI doubt we do. That would take out all forms of bird hunting. Most firearm owner's and hunters I know would say "Shooting in the air is a waste of ammunition and stupid - unless there was a target there." They would also be impressed. I am. I never thought this would get to HN. Really nerding out on some of the math and insight that has been commented on here.
