And that was without a ballistic computer boyz and girls. Just had my trusty firing tables, a calculator and an M-16 plotting board. It's all about wind speed and wind direction. :cool: Nice vid. BTW I learned that trick from an 82nd dude. Just kind of ties in...to this story. :beer: :beer: :gun: Best holiday celebration I ever had in the field was one Christmas when I was an FDC Chief and managed to spell Merry XMAS with iluume rounds from an 81mm platoon.
