I moved this thread to the Pointblank software area where Dallan can see it.

Its effect is only apparent over much longer distances than normal rifleman shoot. Very few people here even shoot beyond 600 yards and the effect is negligable at that range. Target shooters out to 1000 yards and beyond are a whole different class of shooter and user and use much more advanced software than I care to write.

Was just wondering, Point Blank is a very nice program. Many thanks for the reply.
