Figuring the rotation of the earth...
Shooting north to south requires different logistics than shooting east to west ..
Calculate bullet's trajectory over the 4.4 miles....
air density, temperature changes, winds...
The target would die of old age before I had everything figured out !!!
Just the thought of hitting a target 4.4 miles away it impressive, then to figure everything else into the equation !!  All bullets have to be exactly the same, right down to the grain of powder used.
