Kinda the same here. My niece made it sound good. It was good, amazing even, and relevant, but Uncle BeMoreCareful watches cartoons and makes fart jokes.
I was actually thinking he got less drop than expected.
To your point, most things are pretty flat under a few hundred yards, but if they zeroed at an indoor range or something, hob can make those numbers weirder than you'd think.
Still though, center mass, and like you said in the wind. Which is pretty impressive.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. ... But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness.
This reads like a koan to me.
