[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 518284, member: 3745"] As Trebark said and demonstrated with his drawing, you are correct. One thing I think gets missed when we are talking long range shots at steep angles is: THE SHOT IS STILL THE FULL UNCORRECTED DISTANCE. The angle only effects the distance gravity has a downward pull on the bullet. So, when the rangefinder says 1200 yards, and the angle corrected dial up is 950......... just remember it is still a 1200 yard shot. Wind, and other environmental factors have to be calculated at 1200, not 950 in that example. [/QUOTE]
