[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 187340, member: 2740"] GG, How far out are you talking? If I am 300 ft above the target, at 1000 yds, the horizontal distance works out to 995 yds. I have no plans of shooting farther than that, need to practice more to increase my current limit of 600 yds. If the angle were significantly steeper, the distance would be much shorter (in that hunting area) and shouldn't make much difference. I do want to learn as much as I can in order to place my bullet as accurately as possible, but I want to keep things simple if shooting at a shallow angle won't change my POI more than a few inches. As always, thanks for the good info. Sam [/QUOTE]
