[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 464317, member: 21068"] CA48, A protractor with plumb bob hanging from it does work, but kinda hard to point it [B]exactly [/B]at your target and still read the numbers on the side. IMO, the rifle mounted system with angle or cosine indicator is the way to go. When mounting it, we can ensure the rifle is plumb level and that the indicator reads 0 at the same time. Some rangefinders now give the shot angle too, which is a great idea I think. Least accurate method is to use the cosine times the "line of sight" distance, as Michaels post illustrates. [/QUOTE]
