Well then Snyper, what time of flight do the people who care find acceptable?
You tell me, unless you don't care
hmmm
Seems we have some reluctance to answer the question.
I was reading this and thinking to myself - "What is the max flight time that I think is acceptable (for me, nobody else)?"
The immediate answers that popped into my head were that anything less than 0.25 seconds is inconsequential and I'm not comfortable with anything over 1 second.
I decided to check time of flight for my favorite hunting loads and see what the yardage equates to. I found that 1/4 second is about 225yards and 1 second is about 725 yards. Oddly enough, 250 and under is what I consider a gimme - any stationary target, any rest (except offhand) and I'll make that shot. 700 yards is my personal max range based on my range performance (and I'm actually a lot more comfortable with 500 and under). I don't even carry dope for distances beyond 700 because I don't want to tempt myself to shoot beyond my abilities.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the time of flight that I find to be reasonable almost perfectly coincides with my shooting capabilities.....
