[QUOTE="NWmissouriman, post: 978329, member: 45260"] That makes sense, but I'll ask anyways and you can correct me if I'm wrong. Barrel is 1' off the ground, Target is 4' off the ground, distance is 300': So 4'-1'=3', 3'/300'=.01, so my slope is 1% and no correction would be needed and it would be ok to sight in this way? Am I calculating this wrong? Or should I just move the dang target down to 1' or so off the ground, sight in and go on:D? [/QUOTE]
