Initially, the projectile is rising with respect to the line of sight or the horizontal sighting plane. The projectile eventually reaches its apex (highest point in the trajectory parabola) where the vertical speed component decays to zero under the effect of gravity, and then begins to descend, eventually impacting the earth.

The observer would first use this device to measure the angular width of the target. Knowing the angular width of the target, the range to the target, and the known length of that ship class, the angle on the bow of the target can be computed using equations shown in Figure 2. Human observers were required to determine the angle on the bow.
A bow's central mount for other components (limbs, sights, stabilizers and quivers) is called the riser. Risers are designed to be as rigid as possible. The central riser of a compound bow is usually made of aluminum, magnesium alloy, or carbon fiber and many are made of 7075 aluminum alloy.
By the early 1900s the open sight was sometimes replaced by a telescope and the term goniometer had replaced "lining-plane" in English. The first incontrovertible, documented use of indirect fire in war using Guk's methods, albeit without lining-plane sights, was on 26 October 1899 by British gunners during the Second Boer War. [10]
From hero to zero. Ten years ago, Russell Wilson was the talk of the NFL. He had led the Seahawks to a dominant victory at Super Bowl 48, the franchise’s first ever title, in just his second ...
scope (equipment) – A sight housing that resembles a scope, containing one or more pins used to align the bow with the target. Some housings, mainly used in target archery and often sold separately from the rest of the sight, can accept lenses (see clarifier). self bow (equipment) – A bow made from a single piece of material (normally wood)
