    So here is something to ponder.....

    If you fire a rifle perfectly horizontally, and drop a bullet at exactly the same time that you fire the rifle, then both bullets will hit the ground at exactly the same time.


    Chew on that, mutha truckers.

    I think that was the part that I left out of my windage and elevation calculations when I made that shot, Jerry. I've since learned from my mistake.

    We proved that in college physics class.
