Technically Earth is slightly pear shaped not round. This is because of the multiple impacts from other planets when the solar system was forming.

Who observed this?

Scientists from NASA

They were there way back when?

Also, military snipers have to be able to also mathematically calculate their shots according to the general curvature of the earth. It can't be merely theoretical if they're actually applying it. If a round/spherical earth theory was BS, those soldiers wouldn't even bother with that fluff, because why bother with over complicating things when their buddies' lives are on the line?

Wrong. The calculate based on wind drag, not earth curvature.

[quote]Wrong. The calculate based on wind drag, not earth curvature.[/quote] No, I'm right. Wind drag in addition to earth curvature. The earth curvature for longer shots.

There's no curvature. Thus no specific need to account for this. They do evaluate based on elevation, but not the earth's curvature. It's not called that and not intended for that. Learn to snipe, bro.

Yes elevation and wind speed are taken into account, but if the shot is long enough, earth curvature will affect the shot, which is why they take the earths rotation into account for certain types of shots. Learn to snipe yourself.

It is a more recent study.
