[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 187342, member: 2852"] The difference in correction gets more and more the farther out and the steeper the angle obviously and is also more critical the more "arc" you have in your trajectory. With a reasonably flat shooter, I start to think about the corrections when the distances get out to 500 yards and further and 10 degrees and steeper or a combination of the two. A 100 yard height difference over 1000 yards is not much of an angle to worry about but it pays to run the numbers to find out like you are doing. [/QUOTE]
