Pat Riot Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I thought that that is where Alice Kramden landed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 How much lead did you figure you had on that....and how much above the bullseye did you have to hold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 That target is damaged, surprised you didn't get splash back. Better replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Atleast you hit it. Windage and Elevation ain't one of my strong points. Every time I shoot at it, my bullet always drifts to the left somehow and I miss. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Windage and Elevation, Lawman. Windage and Elevation. But a body just has to love those .44-40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I'd try the same hold with the same bullet and primer but add about 25% to your compressed load of H110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 More than windage and elevation. As any sniper knows, you must compensate for the rotation of the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As any sniper knows, you must compensate for the rotation of the earth. That's called Coriolis Effect. Somehow, I don't think you'd call 20th AF launch officers "snipers".

Marshal Hangtree Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Aw, go on and admit it, Lawman Mark. You were in the back yard last night doing your Curly Bill imitations again, weren't you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain’t you one of them space-kaydet-warriors- rocket-men? I bet you could have dialed in and hit the Apollo 11 landing site instead of just winging it at the surface like Mark and Widder. (Actually, I read Widder’s post and couldn’t tell if mine was the only mind in the gutter. Me shooting left of target has nothing to do with the Coriolis Effect.)

Tom Bullweed Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Trying to mess with the tides?? The .38-40 has a flatter trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
