Manual V0 Adjustment Needed!
GAIM is a great simulator, but the fixed bullet speed (V0) creates a serious problem for driven-hunt training. Many modern hunting bullets are much faster than the speeds GAIM uses. My .30-06 load is 960 m/s, but GAIM simulates it much slower (~820–850 m/s). A slower bullet means a much bigger lead is needed in GAIM than in real life. On a driven hunt (40–80 m), this difference is big enough that a hunter who trains with GAIM could easily aim too far forward in real life — which can lead to wounded game. This is why a simple option to enter real muzzle velocity (and BC) is essential. Without it, GAIM teaches the wrong timing and wrong lead for many modern hunting loads.
