[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 770259, member: 61747"] You lost me on that one. Horizontal distance IS the corrected distance for slope angle. If you want to do it the hard way go ahead. Either use slope angle in degrees or cosine angle and do the math. I know an ex army sniper who does this. I sit there and wait for him to ge the math done while I already have the scope programmed and ready for a shot. It is a good form of entertainment. Don't get me wrong, if my high dollar gizmo fails I might be screwed......well actually I will just do the math and dial the scope. Cosine indicators are amazingly simple. For those of use using $800 Leica's or other good RF's, or better yet a G7, we don't have to worry about it any more. The math is done in about .25 seconds. I will continue to input the corrected horizontal distance from my Leica and make my shots. Oh and for those of you wanting to change out your turrents to the G7 style this is a great way to go. I will be doing this soon. Yardage on top and MOA on the bottom. Crazy fast and simple. Literally, take the horizontal distance, let's say 825 yards, spin the turrent to 8 plus 1 click, shoot. I shot a gunwerks LR1200 with this set up. Loved it. [/QUOTE]
