When you take a shot out long. Do you ever wounder the direction that the earth is moving as the bullets in flight. Imagine throwing a ball to hit a target from a moving airplane in a spiral dive @ 140 mph?

So earth is a time machine traveling thru space time and were all on the same ride? Nanu nanu shuzz-but......

And there is the answer to the question of why there is always one flier on the target.

I always check my tables to compensate for this based on distance and tilt of the planet on that day.

Re: When you take a long range shot!
In the early days of military airplanes, in WWI some shot up their own propellers; and later around WWII, some flew into their own stream of machine gun bullets and shot themselves down. If you look into long range ballistics, there are drift effects due to the spin of the bullet and the earth's rotation. Interesting... -Ed
