[QUOTE="Farmer Rob, post: 646725, member: 40481"] If I can jump im and give my 2 cents. A bit of history, i live and hunt in the mountains, from 500m to 1000m height and i encountered this phenomenon too. Firstly uphill or down the 6 inch high is correct and the calc by bigred proved it. As i understand it, shooting at a great angle uphill the projectile is not flatbut angled up, well der!!! so if a projectile is 20mm long but angled at 45 degrees it is only say 15mm across if you were to look straight down on it, therefore it is 25% smaller. This wont reduce the gravity by 25% because the weight etc is the same but it will affect it. Rob [/QUOTE]
