I had been wondering in general about what this 'phenomenon' exactly is as well; Wonko and fatcat helped me understand I think but let me get this all strait.
So what we are seeing through our scope is our bb raising up then eventually dropping; this is actually the round firing strait but because of the offset of the scope and the barrel, the bb is fired lower and when we sight in our rifle for a long distance we are essentially pointing the scope down so now we have our POA intersecting the bb's flight path at an angle then due to a limited FOV the bb enters that FOV, from the bottom of course, and leaves the FOV at the top while still on a flat trajectory just because it was going strait forward but the scope is viewing at a different angle simply losing track of the bb? ???
I am getting the feeling that I am in one of those situations where I am either right, or sooo dead wrong and have no clue what I am talking about lol. :
