    Yea.... LR to me is 10% technique and 90% reading terrain/wind. You should be able to put a chimp behind a F-open gun, and unless he does something really weird, in a warehouse with no wind, they'd be getting near perfect scores.

    I'm not convinced that smallbore is worth it. All it teaches you is technique, and you get a free dose of lead poisoning at most indoor ranges...

    The typical smallbore RO is a strange beast to say the least

    Watched the vid. Bit OTT in the marketing toward the end, but good to see misses and corrections. Intereting formula, keen to try it, wind values are fairly simple to read in 4mph units using flags, so fits together nicely.

    Interesting comments about 308 waaaay past transonic range, will have a go at his BC correction formula and see how it works.
