I was looking at an ammo manufacturer's balistic table for their 230 grain rn 45ACP round. When the gun is sighted for 100 yards, the bullet will be 4.x inches high at 25, 6.y inches high at 50, 4.z inches high at 75 and right on at 100.
When the gun is sighted at shorter distances, the 100 yard point of impact drops off significantly, requiring one to aim above the target. At that distance, one is dealing with guestimates and doesn't need to be adding to the problem by aiming above the target and, thereby, obscuring his view of it.
I checked the verticle distance between my throat and my nose and it is about 6 inches. So, at any range betwee 0 and 100 yards, a shot aimed at the throat should strike between the throat and the nose. (assuming one is capable of making that shot)
Comments please.
