[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 499395, member: 11717"] In my whitetail hunitng experience you will not find them very often in places where angle shooting is a factor. Now that we have that out of the way :) if you're talking mountain mulies, elk, sheep, goats, etc., just use a good balistics program that takes ALL the factor's into consideration including scope height. Another thing you want to consider, is the bullets path through the animal at extreme angles. i.e., if you're shooting downhill, and you aim (corrected for angle) for the animals actual mid body (vs apparent mid body), your bullet will travel through the lower part of the animal and may result in a single lung vs double lung. Just something else to consider. -Mark [/QUOTE]
