Nope.  Picked the number because the bullet flight over line of sight for a 
1000m shot is eleven feet.  Meaning you need eleven feet of overhead 
clearance to account for ballistic travel above line of sight on a 1000m 
shot.  I have seen many a shooter assume that because the bullet reaches a 
certain distance above line of sight they need to aim that far above the 
target.  I am not going to contest 11m gravitational drop because I try and 
stay as far away from physics as possible.  That is what manuals, calculation 
forms, scientific calculators, and people like Big Rob are for.
