rotation of the earth

I was talking, and of course drinking, with a Canadian CSM a couple of weeks back and started talking about shooting.

He told me something that sounded interesting and had not heard of before. But since I was not an 18B, nor a sniper, maybe this is old news to some.

He told me that their guys shooting .50 cal started computating the rotation of the earth into their formulas and were increasing their probabilities by as much as 12% at ranges over 1000 meters.

Just wanted to see what people think about that.
