I'm just getting into long range shooting and have a question.

When shooting 500 yards how much do I need to worry about Coriolis Effect?

Do you guys have any websites I can cruise around to learn more about long range shooting?

Very little for targets if you use my gun. Not at all if you use my gun for hunting.

Too many variables to answer the question. I highly recommend you start your study of LR shooting with this book:

Applied Ballistics For Long Range Shooting 2nd Ed. By Bryan Litz


For most long range shooting the rising target or dropping target problem on east or west shots only becomes an issue when approaching or exceeding 1000 yards.

I think for 16" naval guns ranging out to 20 miles they have to worry about it, but not for 500 yards.
Just my 2 cents.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

Good video. Short with good explanations. Explains why zero for Moyock, shooting to the east slightly south (100 degrees or so)and Quantico shooting north by north west (330-340 degrees) zero changes some. Can't just count clicks and shoot.


A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work.

Absolutely the best book on the subject...WAY better than anything else out there. Spin drift is a bigger problem than Coriolis. Litz has an excellent way to show its effects in his book.

As far as I know, you can get an e-version, but only for the Kindle.

Other than that, it's buy the book like in the good old days!
