With ALL Due RESPECT......

and...I say that in all sincerity, having read so very many of your
comments is this and other forums.... Sensible,Learned,
concise and clear......

I find what you suggest; difficult to accept.

If the bullet "corkscrews" as you suggest... It seems that the center of the POI pattern, would move in a spiral the diameter of which can only increase with distance, The diameter of the corkscrew spiral being the distance between POA and center of the pattern representing the loci of POI.

The "scatter" of the pattern itself would be due to other factors

Nowhere would the "light on the tip of the propeller" converge on the axis of the spiral (corkscrew) >>> 2" at 100 while 5" at 75.

I fail to see how the Direction in which the POI varies from the POA at ANY distance could be affected by this theoretical "corkscrew".

Am I missing something here..... (like perhaps a little humor ??)

I would like to hear other opinions on this from the forum.

renaissance is eager to know....
