In Response To: aiming ()

In the book "Cannon Blasts",it mentions that the lateral movement of the gun tube by one degree could result in an aiming error of over seventeen yards at a range of 1000 yards.
At the livefire matches held at Camp Grayling each summer, it is evident that very small changes in windage can send the shell several feet to the side of a 4' x 6' target at 1000 yards.
