awesome shot. i guess i better start watching my six to the north, them Canadians are getting feisty!



I dont even know where to start to calc this right now, but I was pretty sure the calcs on the 1800 yard shots I took once with my 50 were 4-5 seconds time of flight and seems like the impact from the steel kind of confirmed it was in that same TOF area around 5 seconds.

I'd think double that would be more than 10 seconds, but it doesn't much matter at this point. LOL


Quick and dirty calculation.

If there's one thing I've become certain of it's that there's too much certainty in the world.
