Listen to me, because, Just like you ,
I am a Dweeb !I got a lot of lessons from "The Masters" , bus stuborn as I am, I would Nod, remember but Keep flying the foolish way I was used to (Same goes for my wife's driving, but that's another story.....)
This lesson is about gettin'
CLOSEI was usualy shooting at cons when they were closer than the D1 marker....not verry successful , maybe if he is flying straight or your Nickname is Torque.....After reading WORT's posts (Good idea to print those, btw...) I got to shoot at target from Closer .... 850.......600............500.
........ Now, I have this 85% rule that tells me : Don't fire untill YOU SEE the con ! By that I mean before you can CLEARLY see & Aim for different parts of the airplane...
95% of the Kills I get are when I shoot at planes BELOW 350 Ft away .... he's usualy already a nice fat tgt at that range....(My convergence is set in most planes at 325, except for the Hog & Pony)
