just wondered if jonesy realized that bullets do not go on and on into eternity in a straight line. The bullet drops just as fast as if u were to take a bullet hold it up and drop it. A shot fired or dropped from the same height will hit the ground at the same time. The only difference is the displacement the bullet it is from its original position. Many people think bullets seem to float in air. This isnt correct, it just goes so fast in the outward direction away from the muzzle that makes people think it stays in the air longer.
Saying this I do agree with him as not to shoot over crests, but that bullet is going to drop fairly quickly, you arent going to be shooting homes up 3 miles away.
