    My thoughts on Long-range shooting/hunting

    The problem is changing it into equal segments is moving the goal posts By Litz's own writing the 2nd 3rd is only slightly less important than the 1st 3rd. The original premise was that the "at the muzzle/100yds/1st 3rd" has more effect than the rest of the flight path, which is not true.

    My thoughts on Long-range shooting/hunting

    From my limited understanding, the wind is not "pushing" the bullet. The wind is creating pressure/drag on the windy side of the bullet. The drag is realized more on the back of the bullet than the pointy (aerodynamic) front, thus tipping the tip of the bullet towards the wind. Making the...

    Well that's where it gets interesting. The bullet tip is pointing into the wind. The wind coming L to R is creating drag on the left side of the bullet.

    You did. And that's understandable. I think where it got convoluted when it went from at the muzzle, to 100 yards (that I gave) and then suddenly shifted to 333 yards (1/3 to target). As pertaining to overall wind drift to target at 1k yards. I would question the illustration above. I don't...

    RIP TKO Spine

    Sounds like you're right on the cusp. I ran 29.5 draw with 28.25 c2c arrow with 185 up front on a 300 with no issues.

    Only when it's broken down into thirds. When you add the 2/3 and 3/3 together they have greater effect than the 1st third. If you still disagree, argue with Litz. 🤣

    As long as your State allows, yes. Not from a lower that was transfered or assembled as a rifle. Must be from a "receiver" or "pistol".

    If said lower was bought as a receiver and not a rifle, then yes you can make a Pistol. If said lower was ever built into a rifle, and or bought as a rifle, then no. Federal law. State laws may differ.

    For sure. I'm really not trying to be argumentative. As I said above, I understand the angular potential, I just don't agree that it ends up being the most influential fraction of the time of flight in any practical manner.

    Understandable. But the compounded wind over 799 yds will have more effect than over the first yard

    I get the angular concept of whatever happens closest to point zero has the most (potential) effect. I just don't agree that it has the most effect.

    My thoughts on Long-range shooting/hunting

    I feel like that's what I'm trying to get at. You all are smarter than me. But I am pretty dang sure that if you have a 15mph L to R wind to 100 yards and a 15 mph wind R to L from 100 to 1000 yards that the bullet is going to impact L with the time of flight differential. Either that or I'm...

    @WJM1000 Fair enough. I do get what you're saying. And in some ways it makes sense. I would argue a right to left wind will be counteracted by spin drift, and a left to right will be enhanced by spin drift in your scenario. I guess the reason I was interested in your theory was that in...

    Ok. Now that I reread more carefully, I see it as such. But, by quick calculation at 2700fps 143gr eldx spends .11 seconds to 100 yards, and 1.36 seconds from 100-1000 yards. It's an interesting theory. Not sure how it correlates to reality.

    My thoughts on Long-range shooting/hunting

    Can you explain your theory that wind has the most effect at the muzzle? Are you implying that the wind has more effect on the bullet traveling 2700fps vs let's say 1700fps? Or are you saying that's where you record/judge the wind speed with the best outcome in general?

    10k Nitecore has worked fine for me. Have a larger 26.8k generic chinesium "Charmast" if needing more.
