I was hunting blackbuck antelope last weekend and missing my shots. Now, they were not good shots. 150-300 yds at sprinting antelope through the cedar trees of central/West Texas. The one I finally hit I caught in the pelvis. So I sat down to do some rough math about the lead I should have been giving these things.
Assuming my Grendel had a muzzle velocity of 2500fps, a 200yd shot will take about .2 seconds to Target.
Assuming an antelope runs 25mph, in that .2 seconds it will cover......6 FEET! holy moly. No wonder I was missing them. And probably a couple of the running pigs over the years as well.
If only my math teacher had written some more entertaining story problems over the years I might have paid more attention in class.
