*Suddenly registers and pops up in conversation*

The range calculator doesn't yet cover supersonic, or near sonic cases very well.

Hopefully the forthcoming update will cover this stuff, cover extra stuff, and allow people to enter units other than my original choices, which even I get wrong occasionally.

It should also have a better set of instructions.

I promise I'll get it back to you lot soon.

On other news:

A dart could well get you over a mile - dense projectiles also seriously help. Golf balls might well struggle.

I am located north of Reno, so Vegas is too far away for now. We are finishing up the house, and lots of other projects before winter hits us. We drove down a couple of years ago in 5.5 hours though. ET highway is very fun at 124!
