I have heard in long range gun shooting (>1000 yrds), like with snipers they have to factor in the Coriolis effect and curvature of the earth, when aiming at their target.
Absolutely. In the northern hemisphere, when firing either north or south you will miss to the right. In the southern hemisphere you will miss left. And in either hemisphere you will miss high shooting to the east and low to the west.
