I haven’t seen that link before; thanks. I’m no mathematician either, in fact I get a bit nervous when confronted with too many numbers. I usually use what I refer to as the 90º method; establish target course (usually by just paralleling from first sighting); get ahead; come to a course at 90º to that course; set AoB to 90º when ‘scope/UZO at 000 (or 180); wait; shoot. It’s an almost guaranteed success; so much so that it can be a bit boring. I’d like to be more ‘hands-on’ about it but I’ve read that link three times and I understand only a fraction of it. I probably need to print it and just use it like a trained monkey a couple of times and maybe then it will start to sink in.
However it does go some way to explaining what was going on in the real world when the target course/position/speed etc had to be estimated without a computer to show you the target’s exact position on the chart.
