I read the Litz thing above and I am not on the equator nor pole nor shooting quite that far..... Consider the following.

So, dude standing at 45 degrees N. Fires due north 1 mile. Ignore spin drift. Surely the target is moving to the east, just like it was when firing east? Hit is to the west, left of POA. Dude turns around and fires due South, target moves east, hit is west, right of POA.


So, downunder Dude standing at 45 degrees South. Fires due North 1 mile (not toward the south pole, lol). Ignore spin drift. Surely that target is moving to the east, just like it was when firing east? Hit is again west, left of POA. He does a 180, fires due south, target moves east as it always does, hit is west, right of POA.


In the N hemisphere, couple spindrift with shooting north or south, since its a larger effect than Coriolis, yes hit is alway right....

In the S hemisphere, same diff, hits are right.

So, how fugged is this line of thought?
