Hi all,
This is a noob question so please forgive me if the answer is simple and I’m just being an idiot.
I have a real pigeon infestation in and on our barn. I finally invested in a nice .22 to solve that issue, but I am worried about where any misses might land. We live in a rural area but it’s not the wilderness, so I have to be a little careful.
The problem I am having is that every ballistic calculator I have tried seems to give me the drop from the initial trajectory, not the actual path of the bullet. So in this case, because the sky rats are sitting on top of my barn, the initial trajectory is 28-35deg upwards, depending on where exactly I take the shot from. So then the bullet must travel upwards for a good long ways before gravity starts to win, and I haven’t been able to find a calculator that will show me the actual path.
If it matters, I’m going to be shooting SK Rifle Match out of a VQ Summit.
Thanks for any tips.
