[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 1801129, member: 71817"] For a long shot you need the distance. An inclinometer works fine and gives you an angle probably within a couple degrees, depending on the user and their skills and method. Just invest in a range finder. Most give you the angle along with the critical range. If taking the angle of elevation into account is critical you will need a rather capable ballistics calculator along with you as well. Or a well planned out ballistics chart, with trajectories at known angles, integral calculus will provide you with results that will account for the changing effects of gravity with changing angles of elevation. There too you require the range. If shooting long distances, an accurate range is critical since bullet drop at the end of a long distance shot is measured in feet and is accentuated for each additional yard of distance. [/QUOTE]
