Yesterday I noticed a distinct speed difference display while shooting the same load at 2 different targets.
Both targets were at the 1000 yard berm.
Target 1 was center target: avg speed 2978 fps
Target 2 was left of target 1: avg speed 2896 fps
The chrony sensors are 12 inches apart.
Muzzle was 10 feet from sensor #1
assuming target 1 speeds were 12 inches over the sensors....
What would the distance between the sensors be to account for the slower speeds when shooting at target 2 ?
I'm curious to see if changing the angle across the sensors is the reason for the slower speeds.
Note: all the shots were from the same shooting position. I would vary the shots between target 1 and 2. The shots at target 2 were obviously slower than target 1.
Thanks for the math brain assistance..
