[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1280523, member: 7999"] The time of flight for distance does not change with the angle of the shot. The amount that gravity effects bullet flight decreases for up or down shots at the same rate for the angle of the shot. Wind must be calced for the lazered distance then compensate for angle for the elevation. My system is old school now with all the great new stuff but takes care of this scenario. I have my ballistics program on an ipod and use range finder and weather meter to give it the dope. once dope is in I set the ipod on the top turret of the scope while the rifle is aimed and the los changes the drop needed. Great thread. Steve [/QUOTE]
