[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 581448, member: 13110"] The distance didn't change. A rangefinder reads line of sight distance. The angle changes the effect that gravity has on a bullet. The steeper the angle the less it effects the bullet. Since gravity has less effect you dial for less distance. The distance didn't actual get shorter it just appears that way to the bullet and your ballistic program/drop chart. [/QUOTE]
