Not to be a stickler for details, but I don't think we've had a "legal sunrise" of 7 AM yet. Maybe I'm wrong.

I have heard many people have the same misconception about sighting in a rifle, saying the bullet is still rising up to 100 yards and then begins to fall. WRONG its the line of sight your using from a scope mounted inches above the barrel that confuses people. ... Wheres the confusion? it is/ does climb from the line of site, if the barrel muzzle is higher than the breach....which it is going to have to be if the rifle (point of impact) is zero'd on the cross hairs of a scope anywhere down range... if it is zeroed on the cross hairs at a thousand yards down range the bullet could very well still be rising at 500 yards...that is no misconception is it?  ...but my bullet zeros twice...once climbing above, and another time falling thru the cross hairs/ line of sight...
The simplest way I know to explain it is, a bullet is losing speed and energy, and falling toward the ground from the time it leaves the barrel. A bullet absolutely does not rise above the barrel after the shot, gravity is pulling it toward the ground instantly. Your scope is mounted above the barrel, and the xhairs in the scope are what is zeroed on the target, which is why you shoot low at close distances and high at mid range and then back low again down range. The bullet however has been falling toward the ground since it left the barrel, I promise.

i can't buy that you might be right but don't see how.I can watch an arrow rise and fall at 30 yards so how is a bullet falling from the start?I understand gravity but its seems like its force over gravity to me.gravity is pulling a football down as soon as you throw it but if you put enough force on the throw it will rise before it falls.

Winchester is correct. Unless some additional force is applied after a bullet leaves the barrel or an arrow leaves the string, friction and gravity will slow the projectile down and begin pulling it toward the ground relative to the path it was traveling the instant it left the barrel or string.

Boy I was scared I had though. Felt horrible for about an hour till I found blood what seemed like miles away, even though it was only about 80 yds away. You guys are starting to scare me with all this "I've lost _____ deer". I don't want to lose 1, even though it sounds like it will eventually happen. Furthermore, I can't believe I've sat here and read this many posts.......
