[QUOTE="Bob S., post: 57106, member: 2927"] If we are taking into account time of flight differences between angled measure and flat line measure, shouldn't we take into account the effect on time of flight if the angle were up or down? Wouldn't up hill have a deceleration effect while down would cause an acceleration (just like your car)? This would cause time of flight to be different although minute. maybe the ballistics programs need to be tweaked a little more? Maybe I'm out to lunch and don't have a clue. The range difference is an easy concept to grasp but I think there are other factors to consider if we want the real number. I think for now I have to be content on a close enough for a kill shot number or put a palm pilot on my hunting equipment list. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
