[QUOTE="breakerbar, post: 508348, member: 28680"] Hey Guys. I think this is simply a trigonometry equation. Gravity only effects the horizontal distance. For flat shooting gravity affects bullet the entire distance but uphill-downhill it only effects part of the shot. As you change the Shooting Angle the Distance Affected By Gravity changes. DOWN - Actual Distance x sin(shooting angle) = Distance Affected By Gravity UP - Actual Distance x cos(shooting angle) = Distance Affected By Gravity Lets use 400y@ 60d down. 400 x sin(60) = 346.4 Adjust your scope for 346.4 yards [/QUOTE]
