Thanks for the article reference, it was an interesting and informative read.
Got it - and if I was using a 50 yard min. parallax adjustment scope, doing these calcs might be a useful exercise. (And again, a 50yard min. would be A-OK for centerfire distances.) But if/when a closer target application is needed (i.e. rimfire) I'd rather just adjust out the parallax with a properly specified scope. I've shot with scopes with poor parallax correction, and it's very annoying and frustrating, not to mention inaccurate, the last thing you need in the "heat" of a timed stage of competition.
