THANK you! You know, I hated math when I was a kid. Just hated it. My math teacher always told me "You'll need this someday!" and I never believed him. I'M SORRY MISTER MATLOCK, YOU WERE RIGHT!   Posted: Fri May 08, 2009 12:25 am Buster Bodine Veteran Member Joined: 22 Apr 2009 Posts: 234 Well, it was a great idea but I can't get a successful download on it in either version. Thanks anyway.   Posted: Fri May 08, 2009 6:10 am fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Buster, ballistics isn't just math. It's science and art. Windage, weights, temperature, humidity, altitude, angle of firing, air pressure, angle of off center (tilted gun sideways), all of these things must be figured in for a completely accurate ballistics table. Ironically, once you figure it all out the conditions have already changed, that's where the art part of it come into play. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

It's science and art. I get what you're saying but to put a fine point on it, Ballistics is pure science, no ifs, ands, or buts. SHOOTING is Art. The human mind is such an amazing thing, we can pour all that data into it and with enough experience, we don't even think about all those coolio variables, we just do it. And that's what makes art fun! But still, when I try to DL the chairgun programs, they keep telling me the setup file is corrupted and I need to reload it. Anybody else have this problem? Anybody have another idea on how to get this software? Is there a CD version available somewhere?   Posted: Fri May 08, 2009 10:09 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Just to make sure, the most obvious of things that can really f__ your day up... are you running windows? An explanation of the question: one day someone playing an online game asked me how to take a screen shot, so I told him printscreen then paste into MS paint. Anyway... he asks what paint is, I say start menu> accessories> paint. Not simple enough. He asks what is the start menu... then I realize he is running mac. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Nope, but if ya pm me your mailing address i'll burn you a copy on a cd and throw it in the mailbox the next time I go to the post office to pick up a airgun/pellet order (anyday now....)   Posted: Sat May 09, 2009 1:13 am Buster Bodine Veteran Member Joined: 22 Apr 2009 Posts: 234 fritz wrote: Just to make sure, the most obvious of things that can really f__ your day up... are you running windows? heheheheh Fair question and yes, I'm running XP, SP2 BUT...
