Range to target was 1500 yards, not too far away. Makes me think the speed calc was off, either that or he dropped speed after i did the initial estimate.

Just to mention it...any chance he saw your scope?? What range were you when you first scoped him and what were the weather conditons?? I'd think on a calm day, or even a well-lit night the trail from your scope would be easy to spot, even for the untrained watchman.

Did you mess with gyro angle offset before?

Possibly at that close of range they spotted your peri and slowed before even starting to zig zag.

Just a guess.
