[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1280444, member: 1521"] I would be careful here. Wind is not based on distance, but time of flight(TOF) in a wind vector. Bullet vertical path is not based on distance, but on your aimed angle, velocity/BC/TOF. The most accurate slope shooting applies ANGLE bias to PATH(a path adjustment). That is, it should be more accurate to enter your shooting angle(either from ranger, or ACI), than slope distance, into ballistic calcs. A good ballistic program would adjust path, based on slope angle, and apply resultant TOF in wind calculation. [/QUOTE]
