Maybe he was right?

I don't know if many people have followed my findings, but the logical conclusion one could draw from my studies is that if you are going to "range" your targets with the gunsight you should find out how far away your pray is when the wingspan fills the "big circle". Historically the FW190 fills the big circle of the UK gunsight at 100 yards (thats about 94.5 meters), but in fact it fills the circle at 80 meters (about 87.5 yards)...so you should reset your gun convergence accordingly...

However...with the use of a handy Micro$oft Word program called "Sniper'sCorner_2" I have found that your guns should still all hit your target at 80 meters even if you have your convergence at 100 meters (but they will NOT be focused in one spot...they will be focused in two slightly separated points.)...so I leave it to you to figure out whats right for you.

For anyone who hasn't checked out "Sniper's Corner_2" it is well worth a look...you can find it here.
