I have been proving that wrong since 1974. The last time I hunted OR shot a thutty- thutty was 1973.
My sig line WILL say, " I never wished I had more arch in my bullet path."
I've been thinking about that since the first time you quoted your G pa. I don't know of 1, single, advantage having steeper arches in trajectory. I don't try to shoot over limbs, bushes, or rocks.
I have never seen a flat trajectory to be a hindrance or handicap.
Just trying friendly reasoning.

Understood Jerry. At no time did I ever imply I agree with my Grandpa but I have his words on my sig line in honor of him and because I think his words are thought provoking.
I might also better explain what he was saying since he said it to me. He meant that in the woods you can't see beyond the range of the .30-30 (approx. 200 yards) because there are trees blocking your ability to see further. So in essence, the 30-06 that I used offered no advantage. I was a 30-06 guy and that's why he said it.
