    True, however gravity does not make the projectiles fall up. Beyond your target the projectile will only drop and you can see that area.

    My 7mm Rem Mag has a drop of 286 inches (nigh on 24 feet) at 1000 yards. That tells me that if I miss my mark at 4 feet above the ground then the impact will be well within the area I have lit up. If I cannot see clearly beyond, dips, hollows, ridge lines, I pass up the shot. Anyone who cannot make that decision should stay at home and take up knitting.
    mudgripz, rugerman and dannyb like this.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
